Batteries going dead

I have a 2009 Jayco 25 RKS. I just replaced my batteries last year and I just had them tested and they are in great shape. My problem is that something is draining my batteries way too fast. My batteries were fully charged and in 1 day they will be drained with nothing obvious running. Is there a way to narrow down the problem? Any suggestions would be appreciated. thanks

    Start pulling fuses. If your running the furnace at all that will kill a battery fast. Same for leaving the lights on.

    There are a few things that are known to pull battery power even when everything appears to be off.

    LPG alarm,
    Radio memory,
    Refrigerator (on propane)
    antenna power booster,
    possibly smoke/co alarm,

    If the trailer is at home and you have time you could probably try pulling all the fuses in the panel and replace them one at a time over a period of days.

    Could there be a light left on in a storage bay that you are not aware of?

    Do you have a multimeter that you could use to check amp draw off the battery?
