Do you have a BIM ? A battery isolation manager charges both chassis and coach batteries by switching back and forth , alternating the charge from one to the other. Maybe you are hearing the solenoid clicking.
Im really not sure, but there is something located right next to the battery separated by a compartment under the stair where the battery is located. it does seem like its something related to that since it sounds like an electrical issue.
I agree electrical , but what do I know , I'm not by any means a mechanic I only have a basic understanding .
You're under warranty ? Give your dealership the chance to help you.
What they are using in rvs these days to charge a 12v system is anybody's guess.
***Next to your step, look for an access panel with a few screws that you can unscrew. Behind this panel should normally be the solenoid of whatever type of isolator you have. I had a BIM system by Precision Circuits. This is the solenoid that you might be hearing click on/off. You should hear it click when you push your emergency start switch, if you have one.
If you have a PC BIM.
The BIM could be bad, mine went on vacation right after the warranty ended, it's sensitive digital circuitry.
The company PC was very helpful. The Tech was very helpful to me explaining a lot and had the time to chat.
