I agree with Chris and Way8. I was messing with mine trying to figure out how I wanted to leave it in storage while plugged in, and noticed the coach batt switch lit back up when plugged into shore power, even though I hadn't turned it on. What I don't know is if the batteries would be charging or not.
If the light on the disconnect switch panel is on when plugged in and the system in the disconnected switch, then the converter is wired to the house side of the disconnect and the batteries will not charge in this state but you will have 12V power to the house via the converter.
If the light remains off regardless when disconnected, then the converter is wired to the battery side of the disconnect switch and it will charge the battery, but you won't have 12V power to the house.
You can verify this with a voltmeter at the battery, of course, and that's probably a good idea in any case.
