Easy check for parasitic draw: disconnect positive lead from battery and then put multimeter leads between battery and disconnected cable. Most cheap multimeters will take up to 10 amps for a short period of time. If no draw, start replacing dc fuses one by one and note which circuits are using amps. Read multimeter instructions carefully to avoid damage to multimeter. Some clamp on meters for amp draw are available but a little pricey. You can also insert probes into empty fuse sockets and get the same results. Check with all switches off to start with.
