Your chassis batteries are for starting the coach. The house batteries are for everything else. While in storage, many parasitic draws attack the house batteries..propane detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, clocks in the dash radio etc. etc. Those are what run the batteries down. Our coach has a couple large solar panels on the roof to replenish what those draws take out. Your coach may be different. Often parasitic draws take place even if you turn the switch for the batteries off. The only way to ensure everything is disconnected is to disconnect the batteries at the post with a knife switch.
Regardless of the above, post the year, mfg, and model of your coach and someone with that model could tell you if yours is operating as it should. There are many variables as each mfg puts different options on every model, so what might be on mine may not be on yours. That said, you want to ensure everything is operational that should be on YOUR coach....Dennis
