2007 Roadtrek power drain, coach batteries dead

Hello all,

My 2007 RT 210 Popular has a 1.6 Amp power draw that is draining my coach batteries.
I have the Tripp Lite inverter and it already has the remote cable and switch factory wired to turn it off. So, It is not causing the draw.

I have already hooked up my amp meter between the negative battery post and negative cable and that shows a constant draw of 1.6 Amps. After looking for lights mistakenly left on, etc., I tried pulling every fuse and shutting off every breaker one at a time to isolate the draw. No luck.

So, with my main battery switch off on the panel, still a draw.

Any idea's would be very helpful!
Jeff

My problem with the same symptoms was a short/misconnection in the heated mirrors that were on 24/7 and killed the battery every night.Switch showed the mirrors were OFF but there was still current flowing.
Hard to diagnose heated mirrors in Arizona and Mexico but that was what it was traced to. 2007 Ford F-53 chassis. If possible get a DC amp meter- hard to find but available and find the wire with current( amperage) and disconnect -then find out what does not work. Took me several months to find it. Good Luck
