Have you tryed the fuse pulling trick yet?
Take of Neg battery terminal,Using an ordinary circuit tester with a bulb in the handle,clip the aligator clip to the negative terminal and wedge the point of the tester into the Negative pole of you'r battery making a circuit.
Bulb in the tester should light up if you have a drain or short.
At the fuse box take out the fuses one at a time until the light goes out,thats the circuit the drain is on, and at least you will know where to investigate.Hope this helps.
