My fifth wheel draws down the battery to nothing in a few days when stored. Nothing is on and the battery is new. Any help would be appreciated.

LP Gas detector will do that. Generally a good idea to disconnect batteries while in storage.

Hi. You may want to check TV antenna signal booster to see if the red lite is on. If! So its pulling power from the 12v system. If your 5th whl has a 12v inter-up kill switch use it.

If it only takes a few days to discharge a deep-cycle battery, the battery may be toast. Could be a shorted cell. Charge and float test the battery. Should show at least 12.6v.
