what colors the 12V wires are that run from the house batteries to the Axxera AV614BH radio?

I have a 2016 Thor 28Z class C. I replaced the Axxera (which had some functionality issues) with a Jensen Car800 I purchased from Crutchfields. The radio came with a plug and play wiring harness for the 2015 Ford E450. The radio works great, but after leaving the vehicle sitting for a week and a half, the chassis battery is dead.

I thought I saw somewhere that the Axerra radio was wired into the house batteries. If so, I probably have to cut the Acc/Ignition wire and battery wire and splice into the house battery wires. Online schematics for the Axxera show a schematic similar to the Jensen, where the wires were labeled "B+ and Acc".

Just trying to keep the MH from having a dead battery all the time if it sits. The dead battery issue started after putting in the new radio. One of the things I noticed is that the power on/off knob on the radio has an active red light when the vehicle is shut off.

If anyone has replaced their radio in a similar vehicle, perhaps they encountered the same issue?

I tried looking at the online manual, but couldn't find anything for the house battery going to the radio.

Thanks for reading this and any responses.
