If you use the search function above and search battery drain, you will have an evening of reading on what drains your batteries. Your chassis battery should stay charged for a week or two if it is fully charged when you leave it. Just driving it for a few miles will not charge it. Many prople put a disconnect switch on the chassis battery to stop the drains. I put a solar trickle charger on mine.

As far as the coach batteries are concerned, there is also a drain even with the store switch in the store mode. Running a fan for two days will drain down any battery. Motors are significant draws.

If you store your RV at home, it is a good idea to plug it in every once in a while to charge up the batteries. It is also good to periodically run your generator, but turning the generator on for a short period of time will not do much to recharge the batteries.
