The usual cause of action would be to connect an ameter in series (pulling off the positive battery terminal, setting your ameter to its 10 amp setting and using it as a 'bridge' between clamp and positive battery terminal. This means all drain will be recorded through the meter. Record the amp draw..then disconnect each circuit (usually by pulling the fuse) till you see the amp draw drop significantly. Now you have pinpointed the cuircuit and can proceed with checking it out. The normal culprit is the radio memory.

Hi had the same issue on mine on 3rd led batt and now all OK, not saying this is the answer but did the following and issue gone away
1) unplug the fridge 230v plug from the socket, got no idea why this would work but it did.
2) fitted a modern slow charger and used it to keep the batt topped up all winter, batt stayed charged all summer,
