We are plugged in to shore power, our batteries show full charge but yet our 12v lights keeps flickering and our refrigerator light also flickers. We have our Super Fan on too. Even if we are running one light it still dims and then pops back bright. Fuses all look good. Does anyone know why this is happening?

I suspect bad batteries. Check them independently first.

Flickering 12 volt lights means that there is a loose/bad connection somewhere in the 12 volt system.
