Power drain

[garmp]

We are not full timers at all. Our coach will sit for a month or so, especially in the winter months. We do start it and check things periodically. Without starting & running frequently it seems that our engine battery drains to the point it needs a jump to restart.
My question where & how do I look to find the source of the drainage?
I know nothing of electricity other than when you stick your finger in outlet it hurts. A lot!
Your thoughts?
thanks

Do you park it in the sun? If so, even a small solar charger like this can take care of the digital clock and small drains.
Unit is small enough to set on your dash, or run the wire to the battery direct.

Computer drain should leave enough power to start the vehicle every 2-3 weeks. Get a master disconnect switch or a trickle charger.

Chasing small power drains not be easily taught.

Trickle chargers save battery lives, and make your life easier. If you can’t plug in, do solar.

Lots of things that can potentially draw small amounts of current. If you don’t have access to power the best you can do is disconnect the ground wire to the battery. Of course everything will reset when you reconnect it.
