Unidentifiable wires in electrical compartment

Does anyone know what the RED and GREEN wires control or are connected to coming from the chassis relay in the electrical compartment. The relay/solenoid has two 7.5 amp fuses, one on each side of the solenoid. There is a RED wire on the right side connected to the fuse. Also, there is a GREEN wire connected to the left side fuse.

Any ideas what these wires are used for? Unit is working fine, just curious what the wires are for. They are about 14-16 gauge wires.

Thanks

This sounds like your BIM relay, which will use the alternator to charge the chassis or house batteries. A picture would help to be certain.

The MH has a BIRD system installed. The wires are too small to be charging wires. They appear to control something, just wondering what they could be controlling. Perhaps a relay or maybe a display monitor?

Battery interconnect switch from the dash possibly.
