I have a 2019 Ventana 3407 diesel and took it out for two days of dry camping. Unit was fully charged prior to leaving. First day no problems, second day used the generator a couple of times for a "boost". Following morning the ENTIRE coach AND engine batteries were dead. Overnight I did not use the heater or any other major electrical draws (that I know of). The only use was a CPAP machine, and a small bathroom nite light. The refrigerator was set at middle settings as usual and went on and off as normal. Prior to bedtime the gauges showed about 12.50 in power on both engine batteries and house. In the morning both batteries were at about 10.75/11.00. This was over an 8 hour nite time period.
I'm at a loss as to how/why this occurred. House and engine batteries are cleaned and well maintained (I thought). I'm home and have disconnected everything and will watch to see if batteries drain.
I'm more concerned as to how this happened and how to avoid. I will be getting all the batteries checked and certainly before any new dry camping trips! Any ideas and suggestions are most appreciated!
I'm now thinking of adding solar power which I know can be expensive. Thoughts on that are appreciated too!
Thanks
