Battery Disconnect Switch
When would you switch the disconnect switch to off? I don't really understand the purpose of the thing.

A Disconnect is for when storing the unit without 120 available. to turn off all 12 volts to prevent battery drain. Problem is, due to Liability concerns, some OEMs, leave the CO/LP detector/s connected direct to the battery and bypass the disconnect switch. Does not make sense to then have a disconnect switch. But they do install them this way sometime. Doug
PS, they are NOT meant to be OFF when using or transporting the RV. There is NOTHING bad that will happen by having the 12 volts ON. If your Battery disconnect is OFF, on a towable, then your break a way for your trailer brakes will not function.
