I have vans sit here sometimes for months. That clock uses very little. If
your van sits for 4-6 weeks it should start un-assisted.

A steady drain often missed is the digital clock - if there is one. It takes
a while, but it will eventually drain the battery if the vehicle is not used
reasonably regularly. It doesn't draw much - but it does draw.

rogue power draw that we have seen many times over, or am I on the hunt for
Red drawing power circuit?   I DO NOT want to take this to a mechanic as
every time i do, I end up with more problems than when I went in.  Any
suggestions would be very helpful.
