Do your lights work if not connected to shore power?

Is your refrigerator LP/12v or 12v only or residential?

Lights should be 12v... microwave is 120v so I can't see the correlation there but we need more info.
How old is your battery(ies)?
Are they getting a good charge?
Do you have a battery cut-off switch? Is it working OK?
Do you know about the 12v circuit breakers? (usually near the battery)

What you are describing sounds like a 12v auto reset circuit breaker coming on and off due to a short in the system. Did you recently have any of the battery cables off and possibly get them on wrong? Did you recently do any rewiring?
