I'm wondering how the battery could be used at all when the generator is running. The power outlets in the coach only work with the generator on or hookups attached, so I might be green to think this, but I believed the battery was impossible to drain with 110v power usage.

Your lights etc all run on DC (your battery) when connected to shore power they are still DC powered and get their power via your converter (device which converts AC power to DC). If your converter is working property and your connected to shore power (or generator is running) you should not be draining your battery. If your converter isn't working properly your lights etc will drain your battery even when connected to shore power or running the generator.
