Battery,
I changed engine battery 1984 Pace Arrow 454 engine, hooked it up and nothing. Battery fully charged even switched batteries and have nothing. No lights, no clicking, have checked wires, clean posts, and all grounds.

First of all welcome.
You need to get out a test light and see where you are losing connection. If you had power before with the old battery then my guess is a bad wire.

Wires are connected matching the picture you took before disconnecting the original?

Some of the older GMs had the extra 10 gauge wire on the battery terminal. Make sure that is OK.

Yep, that's the one that supplies everything but the starter itself through a fusible link.

Hi !  Welcome to IRV2! We're sure glad you joined the gang! 
Our rig has battery cutoff switches for BOTH chassis and house batteries.
Good luck, happy trails, and God bless!
