Inverter Question

Hi y'all. I noticed that my inverter, even with the coach and chassis battery switches off, stays powered. I can tell because of the hum that the inverter makes and when I go into the coach and turn the inverter off, the hum stops. I have a 2008 Monaco 40PDQ. Is this normal? Perhaps it is wired that way so I can hook to shore power with the chassis and coach disconnect switches off and still charge the batteries via the inverter. Thoughts?

    Thank you to all! This was a great discussion, and quite informative. When I leave the coach...chassis and house batteries "off", inverter "off" as well. Thanks again.

    Turning my Magnum charger/inverter off puts it in standby, it cannot be turned off and still draws power along with sorted other equipment when the Monaco installed switches are turned off.
