Battery disconnect switch.......OFF isolates the battery from the 12V DC distribution panel & the converter/charger.
Some things like LP Detector powered jacks/landing gear and slides are usually wired directly from batteries and bypass the switch.
Switch is usually turned OFF when placing rig in storage so DC lights/water heater/fridge/water pump etc. can't be turned on and drain battery. Although the parasitic loads from detectors can draw the batteries down.
As for that converter.com
Probably are thinking www.bestconverter.com
Good people......good info....great customer service......LINK
