Any Electrical Wizards Out There?
I just spent 4 days at a racetrack campground and our house battery drained each night. I just figured it was time for a new one but it charged up on the way home and held the charge for 2 days so far...

It has a 1.4v drain on the system.
Reading this and subsequent posts I think you put your voltmeter across the fuse contacts and it read 1.4v.
That is pretty much meaningless. It indicates that there is a path to ground of some undetermined resistance. If you know the resistance of your voltmeter you could calculate how much current is flowing thru the voltmeter and the circuit in series, which is also pretty meaningless.
If you have an ammeter you could put that across the fuse contacts and that would tell you how much current is being drawn. If the current is greater than your meter can handle it could damage your meter.
I'm surprised your clamp-on ammeter didn't give you a reading.
