Thanks John! I should have clarified that I measured the battery voltage at 4 V while the furnace was shut off. I'll remove the recharger now and do the other things you suggested.

For the benefit of those who come along after me, here are a couple of photos and notes I'd offer.

Hahaha, well thanks for adding a new concept and term to my RV lexicon, "poop pyramid". I'll give the flush a try. I'm assuming it'll be OK to use a garden hose down the toilet?
