I'm new to the RV thing. We bought a Class C Fleewood Tioga this past April and we've used it a few times but unfortunately it sits most of the time. I have a BatteryMinder hooked to the engine battery and up to now it's worked fine. I thought I'd give it a crank today just to make sure and as luck would have it the engine would not turn over. I hooked up my big battery charger and put it on Engine Start and it did turn over. What in the motorhome would be draining the battery so that the BatteryMinder wouldn't keep it sufficiently charged? Is it enough to use the BatteryMinder of should I unhook the battery as well or something else. Help! I'll charge the battery overnight to make sure it's back to full charge. I was told that starting it up and idling wasn't good and that the BatteryMinder was the way to go. But evidently I'm doing something else wrong. I do have some fans running inside for ventilation but I'm plugged into a 30amp outlet so they shouldn't drain the engine battery right? Nothing is plugged into the lighter sockets. Can't even guess what would drain it.
Thanks
