I had to park my 5th wheel at a neighbors house while I had some dirt work done at my house. It was parked at his house for 5 days without being hooked up to electric. When I went to get it, the battery was completely dead, and I had to hook up the cord to my truck before I could operate the power lift. I didn't utilize the battery disconnect, but there was nothing left on. All lights, water pump, refrig, water heater, etc was all off. Is this normal? This is just the standard 12v battery that came with my unit when I bought it.
Why not just utilize the battery disconnect switch and kill all power from the battery. As it's been said there is always parasitic draws.
