Battery keeper will probably only work if you are plugged into 120VAC. Dead house battery after five weeks? Sound about right. Parasitic power draw in the house can kill a single battery in a matter of days. If you cannot connect to shore power, consider adding a medium sized solar panel to the roof and have it connected to the house and chassis batteries. While it may not fully charge a depleted battery, it would more than make up for the low current draw items. Also consider turning off the battery disconnect switch when parked in storage.
