Battery draw

How long should I expect my batteries to last with nothing on in the camper? I recently put 2 6 volt batteries in my 2017 Fuzion 417. We have camped a few times since and I know they were fully charged when I put it in the barn 2 weekends ago. I did not turn the disconnect off this time as I didn't think it would draw that much with only the radio clock on. was down to 11 volts yesterday. Any ideas on what else pulls power while turned off?

LP detector draws. Radio station memory draws.

The best way to store the trailer without a tender on the batteries or the onboard converter doing the charge is to disconnect the batteries. The OEM battery disconnect switch itself isn't enough.

For a lengthy period of time without a tender, either remove the batteries and put them on a tender at home or install a solar charger if the trailer is stored outside.

I knew it was going to draw some, I just didn't think that much. Honestly, I hate resetting the clock on the radio. Why cant they just put hour and minute buttons on it?
