To answer your question: seems high to me.
I had a similar problem with 2 new 12v batteries draining in 7 hours on a new 5er. Found out the Yeti cold weather package on the 12V side for the water pipe heat tape was drawing all the time due to no switch being installed from the factory for that side of the option. Dealer installed switch to control the heat tape on the water pipe so we now have plenty of battery storage for a recent 5 day boon docking trip using normal daily electrical for dry camping.
Good luck and keep us posted.
