You should not travel without a $10 DVM (meter) and understanding of the DCV function. At this point I would charge all the batteries via an external charger and have them load tested. Replace as needed. Then after cleaning all terminals (connect negative last remove first for no arcs) start the motorhome. Meter across all your 12V batteries. You should see 13.4-14.2V. If you see below 13.2V your system is not charging and needs further diagnosis. A 12V battery sitting fully charged should read 12.6V approx. If it reads 12V it is mostly dead and needs full charging or replaced
