We just took our second trip after getting it out of the shop. The ac seems to be fixed, but the battery issue is still happening. We parked it yesterday with everything off, I went out there today to clean some things out and the battery is dead! What could be draining the battery like this? Suggestions?
We love our new RV, but we are getting so frustrated with all of the problems we seem to be having. Forest River has been kind and helpful, but things still aren't as they should be with the camper. Please help us figure this out??

Yep thats normal. The battery disconnect is only for the inverter. Nothing else.
The lp gas detector will drain the battery plus anything else left on like a light or a fan.
You will have to disconnect the battery each time you store the unit away from shore power.
I cant figure out why forest river did it this way! The battery disconnect should have killed the whole camper not just the inverter.
I added another disconnect at the batteries as well.
