High DC use

I have a 2010 Cougar 276RLS with two 12 volt batteries that will discharge in two or three days if I am running the frig on gas. This is just setting with no other use such as lights, pump, slide etc. Just the phantom draws and the frig. I have checked the batteries and they will stay charged for weeks when I use the disconnect switch. Does the frig draw that much juice. It is a two way Dometic DM2652 not a three way. What am I missing or is this normal.

    Propane detector is a electrical draw also. I disconnect mine when trailer not in use. It seemed to drain my battery kinda fast.

    A fridge running on propane should use very little electricity. I expect that you have an electrical leak somewhere.
