I have a 2014 Fleetwood Storm Class A all batteries are discharging within 4 to 5 days even with everything off. I have no idea what is causing the discharge. Anybody have an idea?

So pull off the ground terms., then touch them to the post intermittently, while looking for a spark, which indicates a sizeable draw on the batteries and just to be sure everything is indeed, off.

You can pull off the ground wire, then attach a amp meter set on the 10 amp scale with one lead on the battery terminal and the other on the battery wire. Any current movement will have to go through the electric meter, and will give you a reading.

Now to find where it is going. Take out one fuse at a time, and put the amp meter across where the fuse terminals came from. Any power that had been going through the fuse will now go through the meter, and give you a reading. Then find out what is powered by the fuse(s) in question. Chances are that more than 3 fuses will have power going out of them.

Better yet, spend $200 on a solar system, and forget about what is drawing power from the battery.
