I'm in a campground with full hookups. If the MH goes close to a week without being started, it needs a jump. That's why I'm asking how to prevent the inevitable before it happens.
That's a serious parasitic drain, or it's time for a new battery. When on shore power, our chassis battery does not get charged, but it will go several months without needing a charge. When camping seasonally, we charge the battery every other month just to be sure.

I agree fully with Michael, above. You either have a serious parasitic drain or a bad battery. You probably will need some help in determining what is draining your start battery when parked for more than a week. Such things as dash radio, rear view camera, side mirror heating elements, and other accessories in the dash are common culprits.
