What are these electrical items?

These items are connected amongst all the wiring in my RV and I hate not knowing what they do.

This one is near the 12v distribution center and converter



And this one is near the batteries



Who can tell me what their functions are?

    The part is from trombetta part #684-1261-012

    The term "contactor" is another name for what most of us call a "relay." Usually it's called a "contactor" above about 30A rating.

    Top is a battery cutoff switch. Bottom is a solenoid possibly for a slide.

    This looks like the TOP ITEM...

    from google search for RV CUSTOM PRODUCTS



    GOOGLE LINK

    The bottom photo looks like an solenoid of some sort. Can't make out the PART NUMBER from the photo. Just enter that PART NUMBER into google search and when it loads up select 'IMAGES' to see if you can identify the same unit. If you find the same unit just click on the image to see the source of the product.
