Re: Main salon battery switch access under steps
5.8 amps of draw.
that's a lot. Not a simple light or standby device. Lot's of good suggestions above. I might add: perhaps there is a device connected in a wrong way. Either on purpose like a bilge pump that has a connection through the breaker panel and one around it for continuous standby. Or by mistake when a connection was made in a way that current flows when a plus becomes a relative minus. Or through a damaged wire that does not cause trouble when all is powered with enough amperage to allow for the leaking but does when the supply is gone.
My advice: disconnect all, reconnect one by one. Start with the generator as suggested above, if that provides the source. go on and check the rest one by one anyway as this will help you in the future.

I would disconnect it totally and see if your drain doesn't disappear.
