One way to address this would be to disconnect the Coach battery and see what still works. LPG and CO detectors are power-hungry little biters. So's playing the Dash Radio. Dash Radio to the point that Winnie (at least used to) had a switch to select if Radio ran off Chassis or Coach. Previous coach I had ran the radio off the chassis battery so I had to leave the key in ACC. That made my steps open/close every time I opened/closed the door. I changed the wiring to Coach Battery. Then I had to install a switch for the power to the Radio itself (as opposed to another wire for Station and Time Memory) because the Display stayed on and ran the Coach Battery down. That coach did NOT have a Coach Battery Disconnect Switch.
Anyhow, something's not right and I think something's been tapped to the Chassis Battery that should be on Coach Battery. I can leave our old Jayco parked a couple months with Coach Battery off and Chassis Battery still connected. Batteries'll start both Generator (Coach Batt) and Road Engine (Chassis Batt)
Fortunate YOU! With a Navion, you can look up the Wiring Diagrams on Winne's website and track the problem down.
