Patti,

Concerning a potential battery drain.

Someone may have already suggested this .. But if not,

Make sure your Dometic Fridge is not set on 12 volt.

That would certainly drain any battery in short order.

 
good road,

Subject: Battery dead AGAIN!!!!

Charged it last night.  It started 3 different times just fine.  I even went
out to start it before going to bed last night.  No problem.  This morning
it was weak and didn't start!  I removed the battery to see how old it is,
but there are no markings that I can understand.  It's a delco with a handle
on it.  It was very easy to lift out with that handle.  I don't know how old
that battery is. My husband said the aux battery was also discharged.

I made sure the ceiling light and stereo were off.   I don't know what else
to check.   It started perfectly fine for the first 2 weeks that I had it.
What could I have possibly left on that would be draining the battery?

Thanks again.
Patti
