Shorepower for 89 PT40

[pattypape]

Could be a lot of things,

Weak ,low batteries, requiring a lot of charger time,
Check all electric heaters, block heater, freeze heaters,
hot water heater, Instant hot water, Something may be turned ON.
Turn circuit breakers OFF one at a time to isolate current draw.
