One reason the dash radio (at least in 2015 models) is powered by the coach batteries is so that you can run the radio while camped and not run down the chassis battery. That is also why they included the radio remote so that you can turn off the radio and adjust the volume from the bedroom.
In my 2015 Vegas the coach batteries provide power to operate the radio; however, the power for the radio's preselect stations and radio clock comes from the chassis battery. I suppose that is because when you set the USE/STORE to Store and disconnect the coach batteries you would wipe out the radio's preselect stations and turn off the clock. Every time you'd repower you would have to rest the clock and preselect stations.
