Any Electrical Wizards Out There?
I just spent 4 days at a racetrack campground and our house battery drained each night. I just figured it was time for a new one but it charged up on the way home and held the charge for 2 days so far...

Thanks for all the replies!
Basically we were boondocking at Sears Point Racetrack- no shore power, no nothing. And you can have our same campground for NASCAR next month for $3292.50 but that's another story.
Can't find any lights on, believe it's a Magnatek 6345, had the DVM in the windshield where I could see it and pulled the fuses 1 at a time until the meter changed. Finally had them all out but the green lighting circuit and when I pulled it the meter dropped. Did this multiple times. Water pump has a pressure switch. I don't THINK the propane switch/detector is on this circuit. Smokes are not. I ran my genny while at the track for 30-40 minutes and got the battery up from 10.25v to 11.5v while at the track. It's 12.45v now.
Tomorrow I was going to check the polarity on the fan tho I pulled the power at the switch and didn't have any effect. Wondering if the polarity on the pump might be an issue?? Guess I better find a DC clampon ammeter. I'll check that it's charging from shore power but I suspect it is.
Thanks again- I'll check back.
