This post addresses what I call "fixed" battery loads. Those loads that remain when everything is supposedly off. I measured these by removing each fuse that showed current flowing as indicated by the red blown fuse lighting when the fuse was removed. In my 2013 RP-172 there were three such fuses: #3, #5 and #8. The currents measure were:

Fuse #3 LP-DSI (propane Det.)          70 mA.
Fuse #5 Front Lights (thermostat)      13 mA.
Fuse #8 Fridge (electronics only)       0.9 mA.

These loads are present when you think all DC lights, fan, fridge, WH, etc. are off and will drain the battery eventually if the Pod is not plugged in.

I emphasize these readings and mappings are for a 2103 RP-172. According to FR's motto "Let no two Pods be built the same" they may not be the same for other models.
