Those voltages sound fine to me. Normally charging voltages range from
13.5 to 14 volts, but with a heavy load 13.4 is great. It indicates that
the alternator is STILL charging the battery in addition to running all the
other stuff.
Shorts/drains - you could connect an ammeter or a small light bulb between
the battery and the rest of the system and if there is evidence of current
flow, pull fuses one at a time till it goes to zero. The one that takes it
to zero is the offending circuit. If NONE take it away, then look at the
headlight circuit, which is normally unfused, or the dome lights,etc.
