Unknown battery drain

So I have a 2001 prowler northwest edition with an unknown battery drain. So I pulled every fuse and tested amps and got zero across the board. Unhooked the grounds on the battery and got about 8.2 amp draw everything off this includes antenna booster, LPG detector and climate control in the fridge. Any ideas what I can check and where other fuses are located besides the ones in the fuse panel inside the rv?

Thanks in advance

    Agreed 8 amps is too way too much. Do you possibly have a light on in a storage compartment?

    Try hooking up your meter to read 8 amps and then pull one fuse at a time until the amperage drops. That will at least give you a starting point.

    Wow - 8 amps?? Thats a lot.
    Any chance there's a light or two on someplace in a compartment? Or tank heaters?
