You need to clarify what a LOT of power means.
Fridge in LP mode can draw 7-10 AH per 24 hours. 15 AH is not unheard of. This is more than a small fan would draw, especially if the fan is small and cycling. Compared to 40 AH usable capacity of 27 Group battery, this is a lot too.
What I'm trying to say here, is that the OP should measure or check his fan specs. And consider his frig draw. Thinking that the fan is the only item that is drawing the current when everything seems to be "off" would be a mistake. Parasitic loads may also include radio on standby, detectors etc.
