Hey Dexter!
You've definitely got a wiring issue going on. The Go Power PWM Solar Charge Controller # 34276119 could be contributing to it, but more likely than not you just have a bad ground or a damaged power wire that's discharging the battery bank somewhere.
The first step into figuring out this puzzle is to inspect the power wiring on your camper. Start with the wiring connected directly to your battery and then slowly fan out from there, looking for anything that might be damaged, pinched, or frayed.
Let me know what you find!
