I have a Brinkley 3950g toy hauler , bought in May of 2025 , how come if I plug in any 120 any where on this camper my battery runs down, this camper was built on a monday , my thumb will go numb listing all the problems I’ve had with this pig
 
Given the info provided I venture everything is running through an inverter that is running off the batteries in question.

So even when plugged up to shore power all your 120v. recepticles are continuing to route through the inverter? Is this something new or did it just start? If it's the case that it's something new, your power transfer switch is likely malfunctioning. That switch should automatically detect when you're plugged to shore power and after a short delay switch everything over. Ordinarily the inverter only supplies AC current to the refer and some outlets, it appears that in some Brinkley models the inverter however can supply power to all the outlets and built in appliances. On your Model G, the A/C, Mic.Wave, Refer and all recepticles can run off the inverter. If the transfer switch isn't functioning you wouldn't realize you're not on shore power until the batteries die.
