What is normal parasitic DC amp draw?
My new 5th wheel is drawing 1.5 amps with all the lights, appliances, and switches off and AC main breaker off. Is this normal?

Go to The 12V side of Life
for lots of great info on RV electrical systems and batteries. There is a great chart of voltage vs state of charge.
You want your batteries to stay at 50% charge or greater (12 V or higher) to avoid long-term damage.
With that minimum draw on a standard dealer-installed battery, you need to charge every day or possibly 2X/day.
