I now realize my mistake I made leaving the battery switch in the Use position and I tried to recondition the batteries, but they were to far gone. The new batteries were marine type suited for RVs, but maybe should have went back with two 6 volts.
We have a trip planned for the end of the month so I am trying to avoid bringing the RV to the shop because they will want to keep it for at least 3 months. If I am unable to figure out the problem, does anyone know of a reputable Mobile RV Repair in the Baton Rouge, LA Area?

If the "use/store" switch is anything like the battery disconnect the factory installs on their towables it DOE NOT totally/completely disconnect all the parasitic drains on the batteries. Slide motors, CO/LP detector, & clock memories are typically wired directly to the batteries bypassing the switch/disconnect. The only absolute disconnect is to remove the negative cable from the battery that goes directly to ground or add a manual disconnect to that cable to use during storage.
If plugged into shore power that switch must be set to "use" otherwise the batteries will not be. charged
