Well, maybe 4 or 5 hours but it doesn't take days. And you batteries could certainly have been abused when your coach was on the dealer's lot and be bad now, but the comments about using a physical disconnect because of parasitic draws that aren't disconnected by the USE/STORE switch are certainly valid as well.
