Quick check you don't need a amp metre get a 21 or 5 w 12v bulb sngle contact take the negative lead of put the casing of the bulb onto the battery post touch the lead onto the bulb contact if it lights up bright you have a drain + if it's a serviceable battery check the water level

Tomorrow take the van for a 30 minutes drive. As soon as you return, take the earth lead off the leisure battery for a few hours. It may be painful to live without power for the few hours.
After the few hours reconnect the earth lead onto the leisure battery. If your power is gone the battery is busted but if power disappears slowly afterwards, something electrical is draining it.

Thanks all for tips and advice. Somehow it's sorted out now. Don't know how but it's all back in action. Think I had a switch on although it was for the extractor fan that wasn't working, it may have been drawing power regardless. All sorted now anyway. Solar panel and inverter back on and charge is actually climbing now with the nice weather. Hurrah! Thanks again.
