If it is like the 96 we had some years ago, there should be two relays in there. One is the emergency start (crossover) relay that closes when you push the Aux Start button on the dash - it parallels the house batteries with the chassis battery. The other isolates the house batteries from the chassis batteries when parked but closes to charge the house batteries from the engine alternator while driving. It may also be closed to provide chassis battery charging while on shore power.
