The battery is only used to power a few lights. The old battery I had, when new lasted the summer before I had to charge it. This one, after 1 night is dead. I have done nothing different to the trailer since replacing a 4 year old battery.
Next time I am out there, I will locate the fuse box and start pulling fuses to see if there is a draw. However, unless it is a short, there is nothing in it that could be drawing power.
