What is draining my batteries?

[g_man1146]

There are many, many parasitic loads in the coach. Try turning off
the "AT" switch, and the "Electronic Master" switch then see if the
propane leak detector is still "On". If so turn that off. Also be
sure yout inverter or Rediline is switched to "Off". That should
pretty much do it. If not, you need to pull the negative cables for
both the engine and house battery banks.
