I took it to a auto battery and wiring shop and found that there is a module very near your house batteries that has to do with the emergency start (it didn't work either) that closes a circuit and sucks the battery dry after about 8 hours without anything on, just the battery cables connected. Check for amperage discharge from your battery with a voltmeter switched to milliamps and see if it registers at all. If it does, there is a closed switch draining your battery.
The battery shop charged me $400 to find it and they just took it out. They said it wasn't needed. I got it paid for by the Ford warranty. If your coach is less than 3 years old. Otherwise you pay. This might help.
So Ford paid your repair shop to rip out a feature added by Thor that wasn't working?

Sure, you don't need the Emergency Start feature, until you need it. Why not just fix the feature?
