    Batteries going rapidly flat with everything off

    I have a 2019 Coachman Spirit 19. We run two 6 volt deep cycle batteries in series. These are new batteries. Just recently a problem has developed wherein, with everything turned off in the trailer, the batteries are going dead in less than ten days. Any ideas will be sincerely appreciated.

    Can anybody recommend some batteries?

    I've decided to ditch the scawy LP fridge due to health and safety concerns (fire) and instead buy four exploding batteries for the bargain price of $4000 to put under my bed. I can't wait to finally have ice cream that's as hard as concrete to sink my dentures into. Any exploding battery...
