2006 GeorgeTown XL Battery relay clicking?

The automotive type ignition solinoid relay located above the coach batteries under the entrance step keeps randomly clicking on and off. Its partially behind a small circuit board in an enclosure box. Some times does it quite often and other times maybe once an hour. It Does this whether plugged into 115 AC or not. Does not seem to affect any 12 volt equipment inside the MoHo. What is this relay and what could be causing it to 'Trip' on and off? I've cleaned all the 12 volt connections, no help.:h

Fixed ..... NOT! The 'Fix' lasted 12 days. Last night it started Clicking again! ???? Am I correct in that this relay and circuit board monitors the voltage difference of the Engine Batt. and the Coach Batts? I'm assuming it is a 'Smart' relay circuit that separates the engine Batt. if coach Batts get too low so not to drain engine Batt. and leave me stranded??? BTW; I'm helping a friend at campsite.

OK, here goes, the Fix. This box under the entrance step, apparently senses the difference in DC volts of the Coach and Chassis batteries per the electronic circuit board also in this box. It is supposed to open or close the 'Automotive ignition type solinoid relay which either parallels or separates the 2 battery sets, hence the loud clicking. Replaced this large solenoid relay, which is straight forward but not easy, problem solved.

Just saw you post and thought the relay in question was for tying the two battery banks together. This should be automatic and also controlled by a boost sw. on the dash.
Only other thought, was for a battery bank being under some load and once it was recharged, it was closing to allow the other bank to charge.
However this shouldn't be all that much, save a bad battery, so maybe a loose wire on the solenoid coil or like problem.
I've had the same no response on occasion, but still came back with my solution........and yes, someone is reading and benefiting from it. In your case, there's been 125 people, so far.

Actually, quite a difference between "no interest" and "wish I could help, but haven't run into that one".
