Parasitic drain on 12 volt DC electric circuit

I have a drain on my 12volt system. I have found articles on how to find it. All of them tell you to pull fuses until your multi-meter shows a drop in amps. My problem is I have 12v DC circuit breaker...

These tools are invaluable for the DYI RVer. The clampon ammeter measures AC volts/amps, DC volts/amps, resistance, frequency (useful for checking a gen) and temperature. The accuracy is more than adequate for RV usage. The line splitter allows for easy measurement of AC amps for any plug in appliance. The female plug is on the bottom and the 2 loops allow for measuring 1x and 10x amps (useful for measuring small AC loads). About $75 for the pair.
