My 2014 Hurricane only has the coach battery disconnect.. Again has sat multiple months (spring/fall as we now head south for winter) with no issues for either battery...
(Except for once in my driveway when I had the coach switch set to 'use' without shore power for over a week - but my own fault there.... it did exactly what I told it to.)

Obviously something to check and understand how each unit behaves... I certainly expect 'disconnect' means everything - and would find/address anything that behaved differently
Is your "disconnect" a circuit breaker at the battery or A "store/use" switch installed just inside the door. I have installed real "disconnect" switches which physically cut the battery completely off from the coach and (you are right) I have gone to Europe for two months and the batteries are still charged when I get back. However, my "store/use" switches run the battery down in a couple of weeks if left in the "store" position. This is the third "store/use" switch I have had (two different RV manufactures) and they all have this problem.
