Youroo......

Is this Class A owner new or experienced with this rig of theirs?

I'm guessing you are saying they didn't want to run the generator because of the noise...........understandable. They are parked too close to whatever to open some bay doors....that's precision parking. Not sure why, if they were at their son's place, why they didn't run a cord (even 110V) to their rig. This would have provided enough power for an electric heater, or trickle charge the house batteries when they could have run the furnace for heat. I don't understand why the engine battery would be dead. It should not have run down over one night, unless the ignition was left on.

There's a lot more here to know why so many things have happened.
