Arrived in Santa Cruz Ca two weeks ago parked my bus with no hook ups. Turned off everything. Noticed in one week that the batteries had discharged and could not get bus started or generator started. Hook up battery charger and am finding that all effect to charge batteries has been fruitless. Solor is not doing its job. Any ideas?

I'm afraid this can happen. The only way to avoid draining the batteries is to disconnect them. You MAY be able to save them.. Start the engine with a jump from another vehicle. Move to a parking place with full hookups and plug in (before shutting down). It may take a couple days to get your batteries back up. Then don't park without at least a 20 amp plug-in for more than a couple days running. This will have cost you some battery life, but you may still get along.
If you can't park with power, put a disconnect switch on the house bank, and open the switch on the chassis battery. Hope this helps..

If my batteries are fully charged and (1) I turn off the House power at the door and (2) the Chassis batteries breaker (3) and turn off the Inverter, I can last a month.
