I have exactly the same thing on my 08 Affinity.
I’m thinking wood insects.
Have not figured it out.

Can you identify what are in the collection of dusts? If all is wood insect waste, fumigation would be the simplist way to get the job done.

It doesn't look like termite feces in your photo. California drywood termite is very common in coastal areas, and very damaging; I had to deal with it as late as last month. A rental house in S Cal we own had roof leak during a heavy storm in Jan this year, soaked drywalls in the second floor master bathroom. The mitigation and reconstruction took 4 months to complete (insurance paid for everything except $2500 deductible and a brand new roof from our pocket). During the process I noticed the evidence of the termites. It's the pile of about 1/3 of 1/8" in diameter dark brown loose balls. I had a termite fumigation done last month to get rid of them completely.

If you are not sure, put as much as you can collect the samples into a ziplock bag and take it to a termite control company in your area, they can tell you right away. I assume a tarp/fumigation for a 45' coach won't be more than $500 (maybe $300-$500). But I don't think you have a termite issue. Good luck and let us know how you end up with.

We had a similar problem. Turned out the source was the ceiling mounted air conditioning vents. When they cut holes to install the vents they don't clean up the wood shavings/dust. Then as you run your AC unit the dust blows out. A small vacuum hose rattled around inside the duct work might get most of it. We still get some from time to time after 5 years. Love those "craftsmen" who build these vehicles!
