RV Battery Disconnect Switches:
Keep batteries from discharging while storing
Should be switched "off" when storing

When the Disconnect is turned "On" it will:
Charge batteries when the RV is plugged in
Charge batteries while driving
Keep all 12v appliances working

What else you should know:
The battery disconnect will not power 110v power, but it will power the controls to operate 110v powered appliances
You must be plugged in and have the battery disconnect on to power 110v powered appliances such as 110v refrigerators and AC units

Where are Battery Disconnects located?
Fifth wheels: usually found in a storage bay
Motorhomes: can be found in the stairwell inside when entering motorhome, or in a storage bay
Travel Trailers: usually in the front of the camper near the batteries
