I've never had that problem with other vehicles on past trips, but they didn't have so much in them. And what if you are in a long term lot at the airport?
You could always try a battery disconnect switch. I had been told by my dealer that if I was going to leave my bike for two weeks I should connect the maintainer. Too bad your dealer wasn't on top of things.

Maybe that's a question that any one on here with a newer vehicle should be putting to their dealer.
