Cannot locate breakers and fuses
I recently bought a 1997 Gulf Stream Conquest and want to learn the electrical system. It is on a 1996 Ford E Super Duty chassis. I checked the truck manual and it says the fuse box is on the firewall...

Follow the shore power cord. It will terminate at the breaker panel. The converter is probably near that.
You may have a short but all MHs have parasitic loads on the battery. Think CO and propane detectors. If you can't plug the MH in every few days you should probably disconnect the negative lead of the battery. The reason you should disconnect the negative lead is that there is a very real risk of causing a short circuit when using a metal wrench on the positive terminal.
You probably have a single stage converter. That will take a long time to recharge the battery, think days. If you can only plug it in for a few hours the battery is not getting charged and thus will be discharged in a short time.
