Welcome to the forum, the older way to test for battery drain is to use a testlite, you take a battery cable loose, place the testlite between the end of the cable and the battery post, if the lite comes on, you have a battery drain. you pull fuses one at a time, till the lite goes out, whatever fuse circuit caused the lite to go out, is the problem circuit. Maybe a lite that stays on somewhere, best time to check, is in the dark.
