Replacing the starter battery also meant going to the MB dealer as the check engine light came on as well as bells that would not stop dinging. Side note, I bought the replacement batteries from them as well but installed them myself. They fixed that and then the next day, the starter battery was dead. So thought our small road trip to the beach would charge it. It did but once I turned engine off and just let the generator run, it ran down again.
Another side note is my radio will always stay on when everything else is off. I have to turn it off to stay off. Always thought that was strange.
I am new to RV so I must be doing something wrong here. The dealer here is not much help so found this forum and so far have learned more in a few hours of reading this than days at the dealer, so Thank You in advance!!!

The original batteries were definitely damaged by sitting so long without a charge. There is something wrong with your system if the new starter battery was dead in one day. You will need to to get it checked for unwanted battery drains.
Regarding the radio it has two modes the way it was wired by Airstream. If the house battery disconnect is ON the radio must be turned off manually. If the house battery disconnect is OFF the radio will shut off when the vehicle key is turned off.
