What is normal parasitic DC amp draw?
My new 5th wheel is drawing 1.5 amps with all the lights, appliances, and switches off and AC main breaker off. Is this normal?

Unfortunately YES!
Disconnect battery negative right now and leave it disconnected until you install a manual not electric chassis disconnect switch next to the batteries. Absolutely nothing should go to those batteries until the switch is flipped on. You need to turn it on for towing for brake-a-way switch function. Don't buy a garbage grade switch or you'll regret it. Delcity. Net or Genuinedealz.com both have good battery selector switches. Genuinedealz.com you can custom order a great jumper wire from the switcg to the battery.
One week of remaining connected without being charged will destroy that battery.
