Start by following all your battery cable connections and checking for tight connections, loose terminal crimps, and/or corrosion. This includes all ground bonding ground connections to the chassis.
Follow everything/check everything (connection/terminal).

For clarification, was that new battery for the house or chassis? Or did you replace all of them?

My 2004 will not charge the engine battery when plugged into shore power.
Does your's charge the engine battery when plugged into shore power?

Measure battery terminal voltage to know for sure.
Measure on house battery bank. It should be above 13.0 volts when shore power has been connected for 4 hours or more. 13.6 volts is typical.
Measure on chassis battery bank. It should be the same before cranking the engine. It should return to above 13.0 volts in an hour or two after cranking.
Bridge circuit relays often fail with repeated use over the years.
