It would also be worth checking whether or not the battery isolation switch was engaged (assuming your model has one and it is wired into your battery bank). If the battery is left connected, there are several low voltage draws that will drain the battery in a couple of months. These include but are not limited to the propane and carbon monoxide detectors. I always try a basement light to make sure the battery is off since I can never remember if off on the switch means the battery is off or off on the switch means the battery is off on the daggone switch!!! Our switch is identified by a big red plastic key. Just a thought since I agree with others that there is no way the battery should have went dead unless it was energizing something.
Bingo
Bingo,

You are right on the draws while disconnect is on (key can't be removed is on position), but that go both ways, if he is hooked up to shore power, the "big red plastic key" can be removed (meaning off position), the batteries will NOT charge.
