Parasitic Power Loss!
Four months ago I put my 5th wheel into indoor storage, unplugged shore power, and disconnected the house battery by using the factory installed disconnect switch. I was surprised two days ago to find that the battery was totally drained. I connected an external charger, set for 2 amp charge rate, and everything seems okay now.
Question: Is there anything electrical, that is still drawing power even when battery disconnect is turned off? Maybe gas detectors?
My boat batteries are left stored inside the boat right next to the RV trailer and did not discharge, however I did disconnect the cables and did not rely on a disconnect switch.
