Mornin Tech 7, its hard to say not being there, RV's are bad about having phantom loads such as Auto LP Gas Detectors that are constantly "on" that can shut off the gas valve if LP is detected,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Fridge control circuits,,,,,,,,,,,,,No tellin what else. Some RV's have a master battery disconnect switch that can be OFF when she's setting so there's no discharge (other then inherent self discharge) OR IF NOT ITS SIMPLE CHEAP AND EASY TO ADD ONE, you might consider that even if you have good batetries!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am guessing you have two 12 volt so called RV/Marine batteries in parallel right?????????? If so a bad one can caniballize and suck down the good one. I would take them to about any Battery Store (like Interstate etc) or many auto parts houses for a FREE test including load down and specific gravity and voltage.

A good VOM and ammeter can trace down the phantom current and how much, but Id have the batteries tested first as its so easy and FREE.

If I did a lot of dry camping Id (esp if they are bad) replace the two semi deep cycle 12 volt RV/Marine batteries with two Trojan T -105 or equivalent 6 volt true deep cycle golf cart batteries in series. That would give you 225 Amp Hours of 12 volt TRUE DEEP CYCLE energy storage.

John T I'm hooking up FOUR Trojan T-105's in series parallell right now in my RV (450 Amp Hrs). We do a lot of dry boondock camping and I have 470 Watts of Rooftop Solar Panels that keep them well charged. Here I was dry camping and exhibiting 9 days at a tractor show last winter in Florida
