Went to storage today to clean up the rig and get our new mattress laid out and everything was dead. No lights, no vaccum, no hitch jack. Nothing. I've read through a lot of stuff, never once did I read it was suggested to remove the battery or unhook the battery. So, now it sits in my garage, connected to the charger hoping to get some juice back before our trip this weekend. Lesson learned.

Anyone else learn this lesson the hard way? Any suggestions to prevent this moving forward?
Been there done that, current 5er had more parasitic then the old one, went to 5er and battery dead, Charged it, installed a true battery disconnect switch and use it.
