Chassis (starting batteries) in all models very frequently go dead when the coach hasn't moved for a while, or if you're doing a lot of engine starting; its just the nature of the beast. This is why the momentary switch on the dash that connect house and chassis batteries is there, for those sinking moments when nothing happens when you turn the key. And although it sounds like a good idea, chasing down the tiny electrical drains that kill your starting batteries could cost you thousands.
Instead, hook up something like a Trik-l-Charger; since you're fulltiming, you'll be hooked up to shower power most of the time and this will keep your starting batteries up as long as you're plugged in.
Or invest in a battery disconnect, and disconnect the starting batteries when you stop for more than a few days.
