I'll admit that I didn't read all three pages of the thread but I was surfing the web and came across this at Yahoo Motors about a key off trickle charge that could drain your batteries. This sounded pretty general, but maybe this could be a piece of the puzzle. Maybe you have a frayed wire thats making a connection and drawing power.

"Current drain on the battery can be checked with an ammeter. Make sure the ignition is off, then disconnect one of the battery cables. Connect one ammeter lead to the battery and the other to the cable. The normal current drain on most vehicles should be about 25 milliamps or less. If the key-off drain exceeds 100 milliamps, there's an electrical problem that requires further diagnosis."
