The title says it all.... I returned from a weekend camping trip about 5 weeks ago. I was fully charged when I pulled into my driveway, unhitched, and put everything away.
Today, I went into the trailer to get ready for our next weekend trip, and had no power. The battery monitor in the power panel showed 1 light (out of four). But none of the lights would turn on (although all the indicators on my panel for water, black/gray tank, etc, all work.)
This is the original OEM battery. We purchased our HTT new in Oct.
I know there are some parasite drains, even when everything is turned off and I'm planning to install a battery disconnect.
DW and I are complete newbies and have no point of reference.... Is it normal for a battery to last only 5 weeks when parked?
Why don't you just plug it in while it is sitting in your driveway?
That way, your on board charger will keep your battery charged up.
