Chassis battery draining.

[weathermantim]

I have a 2021 Redhawk 29XK. My very new Chassis battery is being drained by what i believe is a parasitic draw from the house motorized step.
Does anyone know how the step motor can be disconnected, so I can test if that is the draw? Thanks.

There's a connector in the harness close to the step's motor. Otherwise, over how long a period are you talking about? If you're storing it without a battery disconnect it's going to drain regardless. Same for the house battery.

Thanks for the reply. I will search for that connector. My worry, if I disconnect the battery (power shutoff), I will not have the house battery as auxiliary to start the motorhome. I do use the RV a few times during winter.

I have battery disconnects on both batteries. When I go to the storage ever few weeks I just screw the connector on the negative battery terminal in and it's all good. Takes 5 seconds. When leaving I just screw them back out.
