Default Newell Batteries Draining when off

Our 1993 Newell is currently having a problem with the batteries discharging when the coach is sitting. If I was leaving the newell in storage, I'd just cut the master switch in the battery bank, but I currently drive/move it every few days.

Regardless, with the power off, I figure that the batteries shouldn't be draining (the batteries are reasonably new, so it's not just a dead battery issue).

One thing I noticed that surprised me was that the CB inside has power even when the newell is turned off. Seems that shouldn't be the case.


Makes me wonder if there isn't some accessory relay that's getting stuck on somewhere not sure but hoping to get some help.

Thanks!
