Thanks for the input guys! The trailer is a 2013 Coleman CTS15BH. I am at work, so can't answer any of the other questions until I get home. The trailer and battery are brand new - so it had full capacity. It was sitting in my driveway for 2-3 weeks before I plugged it into our home.

If trailer sat for 2-3 weeks, with battery connected, the parasitic draws from refer circuit board, gas detector, and on board radio, would have completely drained the battery. Possibly shorted cells.
I store my TT in an outdoor lot, with 40 - 50 other RV's. Walking through the lot, I frequently hear beeping noises from all the units that are stored with batteries hooked up. The beeping noise, is gas detectors indicating low battery power. It normally starts 4-5 days after storage. When the beeping stops (normally, after 7-10 days), many times, the battery is toast.
