Comment was not directed at your RV but does the battery really die in less than 24 hours? I would have more battery.
Only need about 10 volts for 20 seconds in an emergency.
That's the point we are trying to make. How does one know the battery is not below the volts needed to activate the trailer brakes. Most of us have no idea of what the charge level is at any time. Before leaving any campground I check my battery voltage level via the panel in the camper and with truck and shore power disconnected.
Buddy of mine complained that his house battery was almost dead after a day of towing. He did not have the fuse installed in his truck to provide power to the camper cord.
