If not using your generator, possibly a coolant leak from your heater core?

Your MH is almost new (IMO) so I'm going to lean towards something not being tightened down correctly.

Try turning your dash A/C off. When you stop the coach with the dash fan on for either heat or cool, the vents stay open. Turn your key on and turn the fan off. This should close your dash vents. Otherwise your coach is allowing outside air to flow in. This becomes more important in cold weather and you feel a draft.
