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?

What is considered excessive parasitic draw? My current draw is 2,7amps. I opened breakers and pulled fuses one at a time with no change. The batteries are two size 24DC with 92amp hour capacity each. I do have an inverter.
The trailer is an Adventure Manufacturing FBS 26.
Maybe you have other fuses in the trailer... Many of us have fuses in our distribution panel and another fuse block some place else for other things.
Most of us run .5 or less with everything off or disconnected and safety monitors running.
2.7 amps is BIG!
Inverter parasitic draw varies between units. I have measured .5 to .75 parasitic.
