If you think about it, turning off all the circuit breakers is the same as unplugging the shore power cord. The action stops AC power, and that's when the DC (battery) side takes over
Well that would explain the situation. The more I've thought about it I'm all but sure that we did leave the thermostat on. Hadn't ever occurred to me to turn it off as I'd assumed that killing the breakers killed everything; noob! That would also explain why we didn't have this problem after the initial 2 week period of storage; there was no loss/drain as we hadn't yet used the thermostat so if was set to off. I'll report back after I confirm tomorrow!
