When did GM start requiring a battery disconnect on their trucks? I know the 2011 Silverado does NOT have such a requirement and have had NO problem with a discharged battery after 3 days behind the motorhome without being started. They do NOT have a steering lock, so there is no way for anything to discharge, with the key in your pocket. It is the same as your truck setting in your driveway all day. There is something fishy here.
However, if GM did require something to keep the battery from discharging, I would use a charge line from the motorhome to the battery in the toad and NOT use a disconnect. If you disconnect the battery, you lose all info in the computer and it takes up to 100 driving miles for the vehicle to relearn the settings after you reconnect the battery.
