2013 Fleetwood Bounder Electrical issues

[Starstreams]

Several questions:

1. Why would a brand new chassis battery discharge to the point of not cranking the engine after the coach just returned from 3.5 hours on the road? I thought the previous 3 year old battery was bad after trying to crank it before said trip (the panel lights would come on but it would just click endlessly), so I purchased a new one. Put a charger on it upon return and it shows fully charged! Starter solenoid?

2. Where is the fuse/relay for the passenger side lights (entry door, porch, gooseneck map light above passenger, second set of ceiling lights on right hand side)?

3. When hooked to shore power in storage, is the master battery switch supposed to be on (green) or off (red)?

Thanks very much!

1) Sounds more like alternator to me.
2) I dont know on yours specifically but it'd check under dash against the firewall or sidewall on driver side.
3) Turn it on.
