Battery disconnect in "off" position, anything connected?

I'm trying to sort out fuse panel labels and OEM's hand writing is not good. Can't read their writing. Question...When the battery disconnect is in the "off" position, depending on how OEM wired...

The Winnebago Outlook I had for 10 years had the cutoff switch disconnect everything.

The Airstream FC 23FB I have now leaves the propane detector, solar chargers, breakaway switch, tongue jack and inverter powered. I moved the hot wire for the propane detector so it cuts off with the disconnect. I put a separate disconnect switch on the inverter. I left the tongue jack, breakaway switch and solar chargers directly connected to the battery.

It all depends on how the manufacturer built it. There is no standard.
