A motor home has several separate electrical systems. Sticking to the dc systems there are two. The chassis system consists of the starting battery, etc.
The house system also has a battery and charger.
Normally they are separate systems but there is usually a switch that ties the two together for emergency starting. The two systems are probably tied together which causes things on the chassis side to have power.
Others can probably explain in more detail but that is my guess.
