That's a huge load as in I would think the positive and negative wires would be red hot.
It really sounds like a battery with a dead cell. I know you had them tested as good but battery cells are about 2.1 volts each. So a dead cell will bring a battery down to 10 volts.
Assuming the batteries are good try this. Plug the shore power in and charge the batteries up. Then take a picture of the fuse block on the converter and pull all the fuses out. Check battery voltage after 10 minutes. If it's still around 12.7 (fully charged is 12.65 to 12.7) start adding fuses back into the system and checking the voltage after 10 minutes. Eventually you should find the fuse that is causing the drop.
