Started out with bad diodes in the alternator when I bought the rig. I lucked out and got a new OEM Ford one for $300. Screaming deal since they retail for $859 (and no stock in North America).
The starting batteries have no parasitic drains. House batteries don't get drained if I don't leave the fridge on. I can even leave the inverter on without draining the house batteries. Before sinking a ton of money into other things, I'll convert to LEDs and get a more efficient fridge... although I'll need to win the lottery to afford close to a grand for a good fridge. I have a mini bar fridge I may use when on shore power... and the ice in the freezer will keep things cold when unplugged.
