Wanted to add picture of setup but still learning to navigate.

Welcome to the forum.
As others have said, there are what are often called 'parasitic' draws on the battery. Even if you pulled fuses, you'd not find all of them; the CO/propane detector for example is always connected.
Removing the battery cable is the quickest way to eliminate all the draws, but a switch is more elegant.
