I've have been towing our new jeep for almost a 5 months and at the end of every trip we come home with a dead battery. Has anyone had this issue with their flat towing experience?

First have the battery load tested. It could be good but weak. If that's good... The obvious question is what's still on? Sounds to me like it would be a high draw (current) item like head lights. Something like a radio won't do that. I'd keep the headlight position to 'off' not 'auto'. Are you using a braking assist?

I'll try turning off headlight switch. I do use a brake assist. The batteries have been load tested aand1 has been replaced which didn't change the issue. I will be towing it again in 2 weeks again and will test these changes.

The brake controller should have a sleep mode... so it won't draw current all the time and kill the battery.

It is not hooked directly to the car battery it is hooked to the motorhome. So there isn't a direct connection to the car.
