Another question:  Is it your engine battery that needs jumpstarting?  Or the house battery that needs charging?

If the engine battery, then you might have a parasitic draw on it.  That would come from the cab or engine.  Things like lights, etc.  Also if you just put in a new alternator, it might not have gotten hooked up right.

If the house battery, then you should also check the converter/charger to make sure it's all working right.
