Yes, as explained to me when I asked this same question, there is an agreement in place between the chassis and coach mfg.'s to start warranties on sale date.
I don't know about today, but years ago they would play a game of ping pong bouncing the customer back and forth between the coach builder and the chassis builder to resolve a warranty issue.
I can see it get interesting today with all this digital electronic charging system gadgetry between the 12v chassis, the 12v coach and converter. Especially in a unit like the Forest River Sunseeker and such where the converter on certain models will charge the chassis battery too. The chassis alternator comes into play as well while charging both chassis and coach bank as you drive. They are using charge modules today to regulate and flip flop charging voltage between the two systems, chassis and coach.
