Sorry about your decals, but the shutoff is likely as a result of a recall from Ford on previous RV's using the F53 that the BCC can fail and leave you with no power to the chassis. During driving this could be catastrophic. So Ford no longer includes a shut off for the chassis batteries, only the house. So this is a Ford thing, not Winnie and it affects all manufacturers. They should update their documentation but I have seen a lot of gaps in every brands specs so nothing new here.
huh? our 2016 Itasca Suncruiser 38Q (Winnebago product) on the Ford F53 chassis has two battery shutoffs...one for the chassis and one for the coach...and they both work. :h
Maybe they fixed the issue. My 2012 had both, received a recall and they removed the chassis one. My 2013 does not have the chassis disconnect because of the recall. Perhaps by 2016 they worked it out. Point is, if it doesn't have one, it's not a "miss" on the build. In 2014 there is a reason it did not have one.
Our 2013 F-53 Itasca has both and no recall.
