How fast do unused House Batteries discharge?

Yahoo Message Number: 16268
If you are not connected to shore power, leave your house battery disconnect switch to the on option, and not use your coach, how long before your batteries are depleted.

Mine appear to be discharged in about 10 days.

Does anyone have experience?

John: Even if you have the disconnect off, there is a primary cable going directly to the generator on my coach. It may be responsible for some of the drain. One way to check is to remove that cable at the battery. Just a thought.

Larry ...

I misread the message ... missed the disconnect ON part, I thought he said disconnect OFF.

I erased my message since I can't figure out how to edit.

You must have answered in the one minute it took me to realize my error, boy you are quick.

With the disconnect ON (like in the orginal post), any number of things might still use power. I have the all elec package, so the frig would drain the batteries in no time.

Thanks for the come back ... hope this message gets a good response despite my jumping in and confusing the issue.
