Grey Wolf 28WP Battery Question

I will admit, I'm a newbe, only out a few times. But each time I've gone out I've had issues with the battery almost drained. The first time I didn't have the breakers off but the second time I turned off all the breakers and when I went back out to the trailer a few weeks later the propane gas alarm was chirping and the battery was almost drained - with all the breakers off. So, each time I park the trailer after a trip do most of you disconnect the battery?

yes, you will have too, or it will for sure be dead in a week or 2. Mines stays plugged into house

oh, and turning off breakers makes no difference. The drains are on the 12 volt circuits. Propane detector, radio clock, etc.

Thanks for the confirmation, putting a battery disconnect switch on it should stop that problem then.

sure will. If not going to be used for very long periods of time, a trickle charger isn't a bad idea either. I'm talking for more than a few months
