My weakness is electrical stuff. I added an aux battery to my passenger van turned camper. Then I added a gas heater, hooked up a Westy fridge unit, wired in accessories and lights, and now my batteries drain down in a couple weeks time. I added an Isolator btween the batteries and now only my aux battery drains down.

How do I figure out what item is causing the drain? I added a small fuse box under the driver seat if that helps with the diagnosis. I also have a good quality digital voltmeter.

Can someone point in the right direction.

Thanks very much, Dave in Denver
