In CA we kept our coach in covered storage. Upon entering the coach, I always turned on the house battery switch. One day I got sidetracked and SOP went out the window. Spent 30 minutes trying to figure out why no 12v power. Old Scout is right, many times it is the obvious.

It is always the thing that you never worry about, were sure you had checked, "it couldn't be involved" in this problem, that throws you a curve. I learned the hard way that the OTA antenna boost switch can be inadvertently pushed on and will drain the battery very quietly while you aren't looking.

I usually tape a piece of paper over that switch that says "OFF" because I could see myself doing the same thing
