If you install an AGM battery, it will take a very long time to discharge while sitting idle with no power draw.
Install a cut off switch or simply remove the power cable off the battery when you park it. No power draw, no worries about a dead battery.
You could also install toggle switches to turn off the stereo and detectors and anything else running off 12 volts while you are not occupying the TT. If you leave the fridge running on gas , your only draw would be the fridge's 12v circuit which is about 1/2 an amp,depending on the model.
I have left my fridge running on gas, off grid for about a week with no problems.
