Was the breakaway switch for the brakes possibly turned on? A light left on somewhere that's not readily noticeable, like in a storage compartment perhaps? The TV antenna booster?
I didn't realize there was a switch for the breakaway cable. If so, it has been on since I had the camper. Also, wouldn't the TV antenna booster be AC? How much power would it draw anyway?
There’s no extra switch for the breakaway, the breakaway itself is a switch. It would only come in to play if someone pulled it and then your battery would be dead real fast.
The booster is 12V.
