The previous owner installed a Fan-Tastic Roof Fan. It is the automatic version that also has a remote control and will run at set temperatures. It will pull air in or exhaust and open/close the vent door.

It is located on the #1 12V DC 12 Amp. Fused Coach House Circuit. This circuit also includes the driver side ceiling pair of lights above the sofa and the Left Galley Lamp. http://www.bdub.net/wirediagrams/75-76-12vdc-living-area.pdf

I noticed that it has a parasitic load when all loads are off. It makes sense since it can be remote controlled with a wireless transmitter.

Question: The parasitic load I see is .05 Amps. This seems high for this type of service.

What parasitic load should I expect?
