It stayed on low charge or no charge for too long, and or it was overcharged boiling the battery dry, whatever contributed to those factors. It could have been a defective battery even. imo
Not sure how heavy your trailer is but our fifth wheel took quite a bit of juice to raise it. You could blow the twenty amp fuse under the hood, of the F350 if left connected, and the battery, in the RV was low, raising it.
Holiday Rambler shipped me a second battery box and wiring harness, no charge. Two batteries did a lot better.
We didn't have an inverter/charger on the Fifth Wheel.
I would consider investing in one and have it charge the batteries while camped. Still would be better to have the alternators charge them.
If you already don't have one. If I had kept our Fifth wheel we planned on an on board generator. It had the wiring for one. Would add considerable weight. One of the small or large generators flooding the market, for a couple hundred dollars, or so, would be good. just thinking.
