   Far be it from me to tell you what to do but if it were me, I would replace   
   the battery. Short of that, if the terminals match, swap it with your   
   truck battery and see what happens.. That will only cost you some time and   
   dirty hands. I am still of the belief that weak cell is most of your   
   problem. However, I am not an electrical expert. I haven’t even ever spent   
   a night in a Holliday Inn Express.   
      
   Good luck.
