Hey Tom, no bother!  We on the list for this.  Something different/unusual for us to wrap our VW brains around.  I can't help you as I still go along with my Domentic, but I bet someone can.  And you can bet I'll follow along to see what interesting and perhaps helpful info will come up.

Subject: [VANAGON] Parasitic drain

What’s up fellas, sorry to bother you all
In the am. I have the dash out rewiring everything and trying to track down
a parasitic drain on the house battery and I found out my truck fridge is
drawing like .017 when it’s turned off, really .013 because I think the
battery constant is drawing .004. So when I have my mppt plugged in and the
truck fridge I’m at about .03 amp draw which is eating up almost a volt in
24hours. Is it normal for the truck fridge to draw like that when powered
off or do I have a short somewhere in the fridge? Thanks for any and all
assistance. Peace tom
