My Lance 815 is running down my truck batteries- any tips?

I have a 2001 Lance Lite 815 and a 1993 Chevy K3500 TD. Ever since the TC install a few months ago, the camper runs down the batteries in the truck (it has 2), but the only thing on the draw is a carb...

Are you running your fridge on 12 VDC instead or 120VAC or propane?


It's actually not running at all- I haven't even used it yet, but it's switched off. I intend to mainly run it on propane later.

powered through the ignition switch. Ignition off batteries disconnected. They are not expensive.


Is this a fix or a suggestion? Thanks
