Thanks much for the info. We will be getting a tester and testing whatever we can right after this next trip. Till then we plan to run the engine every day to make sure we are charging whatever is belching power.

We are new to the RV world so we are not yet up to speed on the electrical systems. Our batteries seem to go dead when we think everything is off.

The guy we bought it from liked entertainment stuff. He wired in a home theater, extra DVD, 2 new TVs, boosted dash stereo and a backup camera. Again, we were thinking we had turned everything off but now we have learned from this and other posts on this forum that off to us is not really OFF!

So we have unplugged anything that had a plug. It is possible I guess that the charging systems are also not working. But we decided to go with trying to see what is draining the power and see if that works.

Thanks again for the replies. We have so much to learn and I appreciate that there are folks on this forum who are willing to share their knowledge. Still waiting for a call back and email return from GS.
Thanks much,
Sandy
