My 02 Fleetwood has a parasitic drain off the chassis battery as well, about 40 ma total. I isolated it down to 3 sources - 1.) the electronic control center for various coach levels (electric, propane, tanks), 2.) the Scan Gauge engine monitor and 3.) I can't remember, but it was another coach function.
Try isolating your drain by pulling fuses and watching the current meter, then figure out what that fuse supplies. To keep from pulling cables off the battery you can "short" the disconnect switch with the current meter, just remember to have the switch in disconnect mode. To identify circuits be sure to turn on the main switch or you might blow a meter fuse.
Good luck,
