All my battereis ruptured!

I went to begin getting the motorhome ready for the season and the first thing I noticed was no power. I checked the batteries and ALL were ruptured. I live in the pacific northwest so we do have cold winters, but I did have it winterized at Camping World.. What would cause this and how do I prevent this from happening again?

    Were the batteries connected but the shore power was not plugged in? If so the electronics sucked the life out of the batteries and the electrolyte/water froze. During storage disconnect the batteries or keep it plugged in. If it is plugged in check the battery water level ever month or two so that the level is over the plates at all times.

    When you replace the batteries neutralize the acid and clean the compartment well.
