If using my fridge on propane how long will the battery last? Does it draw the 12v from the chassis battery or the house batteries? Will be dry docking for 3 days and Im wondering If i should run ...

chassis should NOThave gone down, and house should have lasted longer
especially all (3) batteries together
some how you chassis and house batteries are connected, with engine off
they are only supposed to be connected with engine running, and you have drain/load that should not be there
the battery separator aka 'charge solenoid' is bad/shorted or the wires were cross wired after it stopped working
what engine drive train
the chevy 454, in the P30 chassis, has a main power juction near the starter
the starters are know to have sticky contacts, that will drain a starting battery when setting a few days
could be you have a multiple problem situation
house batteries cross connected to chassis which is getting drained
or could be inverter drain on the house size that also brought down the cross connected chassis battery
need to get those batteries electrically separated
