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.

I have a class A but I suppose the wiring might be relatively the same. My coach has wires from both batteries to both radios, the Axxera in the front and the Jensen in the rear. Both radios use 12 volts from the chassis battery to keep the radio's memory constant. If the memory circuit was powered from the house batteries, the radio's would loose their memory when the use/store latching relay was in the store position. That keep alive circuit comes from the dash wiring harness with a 5 amp inline fuse just behind the radio. In the rear, it is part of the radio's wiring harness and where it it comes from, I do not know.
The fuse for the radio's power comes from the main fuse panel in the power center. under the bed It is 15 amp and labeled accessories. As far as I know, there is no inline fuse.
For my Axxera, red is the main power, yellow is the memory power and black is the ground.
