As DrewE said, the chassis battery and the house batteries are not normally connected to each other when the engine is not running. If the solenoid is defective so that the contacts are closed then the two batteries would be connected. You can check this with your multimeter. If you have a battery isolator of a different type it may connect the two batteries together under different conditions.
Many MHs have a battery disconnect switch that disconnects the house battery from the house. When it's in storage and not plugged in, you should disconnect the battery with this switch. If you don't have one, pianotuna's switch would be a good addition.
