2015 Wildwood Battery Draining

[tilq]

We just received our trailer. I towed it to my storage place and dry parked it. I made sure nothing was on and locked it up. When I went to pick it up for our first excursion, the battery was dead. I thought OK maybe I left something on. So this time i double checked and had my wife check everything as well. Our battery was full from recharging. I went back a week later and the battery is down to 2/3 full. What would be on that is draining the battery. The only thing I can find with a light on is the Monoxide alarm? I detached the batter so I wouldn't loose any more power. Any ideas what might be running?

Check your antenna booster, they are power vampires as well.

since newer RV's have numerous parasitic power drains, you need to keep it plugged into shore power or install a battery disconnect switch, otherwise you'll keep finding a dead battery.

or you can simply unhook the battery like you did.

Looks like ill just install a disconnect and that would be yh5e easiest solution. Thanks everyone.

That's what I do... There's some little things I think you just can't get turned off that drain it out.

Just went out and check my battery after reading this. It's only been a month since we used it last and the battery is dead.
2015 TT with an interstate battery.
I'll be disconnecting till I get a battery shut off.

A battery disconnect is the only way to go. Besides the CO detector, the clocks on our Jensen stereo and microwave also draw power. And I always triple check the antenna booster - because I have left it on before.
