Have you had the Alternator checked? I have seen brand new ones go bad right after putting them in (rebuilt ones,that is) Or somewhere you could have an option that is staying on after shutting off the key. Like a domelite,under the hood lite or trunk lite. A simple way to tell if it is the alternator is to start the motor and disconnect the pos. cable from the battery and the engine will run as long as the battery has a charge and slowly die off. If the engine keeps running like it should on an alternating current supplied by the alternator then you have something else draining your battery as I decribed above. The battery could also be junk if ya bought a 2 or 3 yr one.Or the battery could not have the cranking amps required to turn over the engine as it could be one of those High cold cranking amp battery's with very little reserve. Also if you have the battery in the trunk instead of under the hood both the battery cable size and the battery c.c.a. and reserve capacity could be wrong with your application

it really is maximum probable a drain interior the motor homes wiring and by no skill only the engine. you may try circuits your self even with the undeniable fact that it truly is time ingesting. Unhook the battery and rehook it. attempt this interior the darkish and if the positve cable sparks once you connect it some thing is on and drawing present day. to be sure which circuit it truly is unhook battery and then get rid of ONE circuit's fuse and reattach useful cable. If it nonetheless sparks it truly is a special circuit. do not positioned THAT fuse decrease back in yet get rid of yet another one till you get no sparks. Now starting up with the first fuse you bumped off positioned it decrease back in and do the approach all yet yet again. advised you it became time ingesting even with the undeniable fact that it truly is a commence. or you need to pay an vehicle electric powered save to discover the problem for you. i'd attempt this.
