Update - I had a service guy out here to jump the chassis battery which quickly started up once he hooked it up. Once the engine was started the main lights popped right back up to normal and the Xantrex went back to looking normal. I started the generator thinking I'd leave it for a couple hours to charge the house batteries and hope for the best.
Once we returned the generator was off (wasn't sure why) and the lights were out again (I assume house batteries dead). The engine started right back up luckily and the lights popped right back on like before. I started the generator (staying here with it) and turned the engine off. After about 20-30 minutes the lights started dimming significantly (remember I'm plugged into 50 amp shore power and the generator is on). I killed the generator, started the engine and they came right back to normal again. During all this, the things running off of 120 like fridge, microwave and outlets work just fine.
So, taking Gary's advice I took the cover off the bed area and took the pictures below to show what I have. I am going to start reading now about what these do but I'm assuming the WFCO 55amp Power Converter may be what's supposed to charge the batteries?? Is one of these not working to take shore power or generator power and make it do what's its supposed to do?
WFCO 55 amp Power Converter model WF-9855, Input 105-130FAC,950W. Output 13.6VDC 55amp

- I don't know what that third thing is, just added the picture since its in there.
If it also helps with the situation, when we arrived here and I was hooking up power I had plugged the surge protector in, waited until everything was good and then plugged my power cord in. it made a glowing pop in the head of the power cord which once I took it apart I saw that one of the hot wires had pulled out of the attachment that hooks to the receptacle pin thing. I believe the pop and glow was just a quick arc between the wire and the terminal. I fixed that, then it worked fine until this mess. Not sure if that pop affected anything.
Thanks for the help. Definitely a learning experience.
