Assuming not the obvious - exterior lights, etc... typically dash outlets are on the chassis battery... As we've seen things do vary between rigs, and somethings not wired as expected. May take some hunting and work with a ammeter to see what the draw is - and pull fuses until it drops. That will help isolate.

You do want to either find the draw soon - or install a disconnect on the chassis battery - as it is not a deep cycle battery.. It won't take too many of those before you will be replacing it. (Even deep cycles don't like 'dead'... but...)
