I have a 1998 Hallmark slide in camper, new to me. It has 1- 12v deep cycle on board that's about 6 months old. With out any lights or the refrigerator on, the battery will go dead in about 1 day. It will also discharge both of the truck batteries if it's plugged in as well. I have a new in the box ( although I bought it many years ago) isolator, but it's only rated at 70 amps. I think that's too low for the truck as it has a 136 amp alternator. Is there anyway short of unplugging the 7 way cord to prevent discharging the truck batteries? Also is it common for there to be a loud click when you unhook and hook the battery up? The only things that I can see that are powered on all of the time are the propane and CO alarms. Is it common for there to be a key switch that will isolate the camper battery? I have a key switch by the back door that I can't figure out what it's for.
