Salem Cruise lite 273qbxl no battery power

Recently went camping and everything on my salem cruise lite 273qbxl worked fine. Came home parked and unhooked. When I unhooked I had no battery power. Nothing works at all. When plugged into shore power or into truck everything works fine. Checked fuses all are good. I just bought camper in February this yesr brand new. I leave the battery disconnect switch off when not in use. I have hard time believing the battery is completely dead already. What's the chances the battery disconnect is bad?

Not sure how your disconnect switch is configured but the batteries need to be engaged when plugged into shore power. They should only be disconnected when not in use and no shore power available.
They can't be recharged from shore power, if you disconnect them.

Yes, I am aware the switch needs to be on or battery will not charge.
I just figured it out tho. The battery disconnect switch is bad. I jumpered out the switch and everything worked perfectly. That's not good if a switch will only last 5 months. Will call dealer tmw to see if they will send me a new switch.
