The best way to check your battery voltage is to wait a minimum of 4 hours after the charger or controller shuts off. Or is disconnected. This allows the surface voltage to dissipate to the battery’s normal state.
Also, most battery disconnect switches will leave some parasitic things inside your camper, such as the carbon monoxide detector or the like connected. You may have a few amps drawing. These parasites will draw down your battery when in storage. However, your solar should keep up with those if not too heavily shaded, and is working correctly. Otherwise, best to disconnect one of the leads to completely isolate while stored. Remember the precautions stated above if your solar is connected.

When our battery shut off is actuated, there isn't power going to anything as long as the camper plug in chord is unplugged. Co2 detector doesn't have any power to it either. Nothing works.
