I’m slightly confused
How can I park my motorhome in its storage and not keep having the battery go flat
I have a solar panel on the roof but not sure what settings should you leave while it’s parked up
 
Just got my motorhome out storage today it been there since a week before lockdown.

Leisure battery was showing 13v on the multi meter and starter battery was 11.76 on it own meter. Started first time.

Maybe you have a drain on a battery
 
I took my MH out today after not having moved it since 23 March. It started first time, ran without fault, I grinned like a kid in a toffee factory, and blessed having that solar panel fitted with a battery master. It was with great reluctance I backed it down the drive, now filled up with diesel at £1.05 pence per litre -the cheapest since about (guessing here) 2007. Best investment ever was that solar panel!
 
You have 3 options to keep the engine battery topped up. A dual output solar regulator, a CBE solar split charge relay or a Batterymaster.
The CBE unit has the advantage that it can put more amps into the starter battery and its cheap, I've been using them for years even though I have a dual output regulator.

Appreciate the help will now sort it from some of your suggestions
 
Other factors are also in play! Is your solar panel in the shade of a tree or building at the storage place? What sort of solar controller have you got?
