1. The solar controller should be connected to the battery and the battery disconnect switch should have no effect.

And for #2, there are no "switches" that I can see for the panels OR on the controller battery wires, all the wires are connected to "other" wires with butt connections, or am I misunderstanding you???
I pulled out the wires from the wall as far as I could to take a look when I removed the controller, not much to see. Where the dealer installed the panel (dumb location:M), hard to see anything.
If the weather holds out, I will get up on the roof and look for, whatever there may be, But I am betting just the connectors from one panel to another and then goes down in to the interior of the motorhome.
I tried to navigate the mess of wires, in the battery compartment and under the master bed,(electrical panels/power transfer, etc, etc, etc) but there are sooooooo many, hard to make heads and tails of. Honestly, THAT will take a more of an effort and methodical approach (see previous post on me being lazy) and quite honestly, electrical stuff intimidates me
