My well-cared for 2011 Cimarron with Outback LQ is losing battery charge within a few hours. Only thing active is the fridge (on LP). I have one switch in the saddle compartment that either doesn’t work or the light bulb is out. I’m at an event and by myself. Generator charges batteries back up but they don’t hold for more than 6 hours...they were new last Fall. Any suggestions.

It takes a while for the batteries to be recharged...a couple of hours on a generator doesn't do it.

Location: Vermont		As mentioned...you may want to check water level in your batteries...you may also want to check how your charger system is set up...NOTE how many AMPS are needed in the following 4 battery setup...  https://www.impactbattery.com/blog/tutorials/how-to-charge-marine-and-rv-batteries-in-parallel/
