I agree you probably just need to get a new battery.  You need to disconnect it from the pod if you don't leave the pod plugged in all the time (or leave the battery on a battery tender), but then charge it overnight every 30 days.

When you're connected to 120VAC it charges the battery through the converter.  However if your battery was left for a long time in a low state of charge it is probably bad.  Try giving it a full charge and see what happens.

I would say it is time for a new battery.

When the camper is plugged into 120VAC should it be charging the battery?  Or do I need to charge it with a separate charger?  

 My battery is about completely dead as previous owner left it connected and it drained.

Or is it time for a new battery?
