I'm not familiar with your rig so it's hard to give specifics. Just to check on a possible connection between the house and coach, while the coach is disconnected, disconnect the chassis negative.
If all drops off when you disconnect the chassis negative, there is a charging circuit that is cross feeding.
Some, maybe many,, rigs have a B.I.R.D OR Bi_Directional Isolator. The BIRD determines when the chassis battery is about 90 percent of charge and then the relay pulls in and chatges both the house and floats the chassis to full charge.
It could be that.
Write back on what you try and lets us know what happens.
If you have a Winnie, it has a different charging system.
If the Aux switch circuit or solenoid is stuck it would do the same as having the BIRD fail.
