You may need to install a disconnect switch. Long story short, if you are not hooked up to power, your trailer will always have some draw and this will drain the battery or batteries. So keep your trailer plugged to power (even when you are not using it) or disconnect the battery (negative side). Some additional advice check your battery to see what condition it is in. I would recommend getting a East Penn (manufacturer) battery - deep cycle. Keep it charged up (connected to home or RV site power) and maintained. I usually take a Battery Charger with me camping. Schumacher SC1281 is a good one. You need one that can charge at 25 to 30 Amps. It is worth the investment as this charger will do everything you need. I pull the batteries in the winter, bring them inside and put a good maintainer on them. My last Dekka batter lasted SEVEN years. Now that is amazing.
