Most likely, you are not reaching full charge. It should be fully charged at some point. But perhaps you are leaving the battery disconnect turned on and using power behind the scenes and not just items you turn off inside the RV. These are called "parasitic loads." Things like your CO2 sensor, radio clock, etc.
If you have a multi-meter check the voltage coming out of the solar panel, the voltage coming out of the solar charge controller and the voltage of the battery when fully resting (disconnect for a few hours).
Without knowing these things you can't be sure what's happening. It could be something wrong with your electrical system. But most likely it sounds like perhaps you haven't learned all the things you need to do to store the RV without running down the battery.
If you don't know how to do all these things you could have it checked out under warranty. Just keep in mind that dealer service centers are super busy in the summer "camping season." Especially, since there is a boom in RV sales. It could take months to get an appointment.
Perhaps if you do get back to the dealer to have a belated PDI you could have them explain the entire process of disconnecting the battery with the rotary cutoff. (If you have one, not all TT do.)
