Check charging system and all connections and grounds and battery and battery cables.
If OK and it is going dead after sitting 2-3 days.

Get someone to run a amp draw check on your electrical system.

Over 0.260 is way too much-that's 260 milliamps-should be no more than 25 milliamps or 0.025 amps.

2/25/09 Problem solved; The vanity light inside the over head visor had a fault and was remaining on; could not be seen because the vanity has a cover over light & mirror. Disconnected the light; who needs it anyway have plenty of positional lights in van.

Glad you found it.
A amp draw test would have told you something was on.
