I also have an Okanagan but on a 2014 RAM. I had the camper mounted on the truck, but disconnected the camper batteries with the knife switch. I went into the storage compartment and noticed that the compartment light was light. ??? Did some trouble shooting and found that the power was coming from the truck batteries. Note that the RAM was off.
It turn out that RAM does not have an isolation relay from the truck batteries and the 7-pin camper connector. The truck battery only goes through a fuse in the truck fuse box.
I brought this up on a RAM forum and about half of the respondents were aware of this problem. Most disconnect the 7-pin when they dry camp because of this problem.
Now, someone in that same forum stated that Chevy trucks are also directly wired just like the RAM. If so, that could be the problem.
