Sorry…this is a serious post. We bought from a dealer and they went through everything but it was so much info I can’t remember it all. Have the manuals but they don’t answer these silly questions. Thanks for responding.
We will get it figured out.
The manual is very generic as I am sure you have found out and won't go over lights - it may cover the battery disconnect. The only connection to your lights and the fridge - to be able to turn them off simultaneously is the battery disconnect switch, so my guess is you are confusing that with a light switch. While travelling your battery disconnect needs to be in connected mode in order to access all your battery driven devices. Lights, LP/fridge ignition, control panel etc. they all run off your house batteries. That disconnect switch is for storage so none of those things run and empty your batteries while the rv is in storage. Leave that switch on and search for another switch to control the lights.
In order to run the fridge on electric and air conditioner, outlets, microwave etc while driving, or disconnected from shore power, is to run the generator.
Did they teach you how to run the generator?
But I think the root of this particular problem with your lights is that you are confusing the battery disconnect switch with a light switch. As I said, whatever switch you are hitting that is turning off the lights and fridge at the same time, leave it on and find another switch that only turns off the lights.
