Electrical Question for Pine Mountain Pop Up

I just got an 1980 StarCraft Pine Mountain Pop Up Camper . It is in great shape for its age. When I connect the battery I notice current draw and some clicking in the fridge or heater area. It does this and I need to know if this is normal. It appears that it is to much current to be on continuously. Could it be an safety feature to purge any lingering gas and will it automatically quit Also what are the 4 plug in fuses in the panel for? 30 amp= main power the rest ,can someone tell me ?

The clicking is likely either the fridge or the heater trying to light off using an electronic ignition. You should be able to turn those off at the fridge, or at the thermostat and have the clicking go away. As far as the fuses, you're probably out of luck other than pulling them and see what no longer comes one. There not a "this is the only way" kind of rule for those. Likely though, it's one for the fridge, one for the a CO detector, one for the heater, and one for lights. Some of them may be combined though, so it's tough to guess.
