Welcome to Forum!

Are you plugged into 120 volt “Shore Power” when this is happening?

There is a routine you can do to see what component is causing the parasitic loss. It involves a multimeter.
A quick search show a few ways -

https://www.wikihow.com/Find-a-Paras...your%20vehicle.

Ive seen other methods where you use the multimeter, grounding it to like the door post pin, and then remove fuses from fuse panel one at a time, touching the contact to see what pulls any voltage. (Long link!) Just google "using multimeter and fuse panel parasitic drain".

Is your use/store switch in “use” position? Is the blue circuit breaker under the hood, by the battery tripped? Is the breaker back by the house batteries tripped?Thats about the extent of problems I’ve had.

Yes I am. Does this have an effect?
