We have been parked for a couple of months, now and plugged into shore power at the in-laws.
When I went out to start the engine the other day, it failed to turn over. Apparently the battery had drained.
I jumped the battery to get it started and when running, I have good power from the alternator, and the battery charges. I had thought that the chassis battery would be receiving a charge from the house system while we were parked. Apparently, not.
Earlier, we had the Dancer on shore power for nearly 3 months, and never had the problem of the chassis battery draining down.
This time, in a matter of weeks, we lost enough juice that it failed to turn the engine.
Was I just lucky, last time because it was during warm weather?
