House Batteries Disconnect Switch & Inverter

When connected to shore power, the inverter screen shows an icon showing the power going from shore power to a light bulb, instead of coming from the batteries. The screen will appear for a short time, even if the inverter itself is turned off. I just want to make sure when I turn the battery disconnect switch to off and I turned off the inverter the batteries won't be drained. As I mentioned before, I've owned coaches before with inverters and never had the batteries die on me while in storage. I was a bit concerned this inverter may have been different than the previous ones I had.

Still assuming you have that Freedom X sine wave 1200w I linked. Yes it is different from the usual inverter. It has the pass through 120v for one thing, and it still draws a a tiny bit of DC when "off" (that 4ma in the spec). Ordinary inverter's are off when off.

Not being a newbie, you will know the 120v breakers circuit markings from the factory can't be trusted, and you have to confirm what each breaker controls. In this case there is a sub-panel for the inverter to confirm what each of its breakers are for too. That should solve the question of whether they wrongly left the converter on the sub-panel.

1200w will not run a 1000w MW (wants 1500w) so for off-grid whole house you will want a bigger wattage inverter. You can have two inverters if that is easier than swapping out the 1200w and putting the MW on the sub-panel.
