Those with a 2018 Vegas/Axis can chime in if theirs are different. I know of at least five that were wired incorrectly at the factory. I don’t know the year of your Axis or whether you have a BIRD or BCC setup so I can’t tell you what to look at.
Secondly, I don’t know which radio you have, but you should have gotten a manual with it. If not, you should be able to download one from the manufacturer. You can access the radio by pulling up the mat in the middle if your dashboard, taking out the two screws and sliding the cover off. On my 2014 Vegas, the red wire to the radio was the one that went to the chassis battery to keep the presets and the clock. That one has a minimal draw, but it does draw some. If you put a switch to it, you will have to reset the clock and radio stations every time you turn it off. The yellow black wire (yours is probably a different color) went to the house batteries to run the radio. If it is wired correctly, the radio and backup camera will not work if the use/store is in store. To install a small on/off switch into either it both lines, just cut the wire and attach the two poles of the switch to the two wire ends. I put the two switches on a small piece of wood and attached them to the bottom of the dash near my right knee.

Another way is to simply tie the keep-alive wire the red wire to the yellow black wire so that when in store both lines turn off, and when in use both lines are on. I wired mine this way (as we haven't required the situation where we would need that wire powered when in store mode).
