On both the RV's I've owned the disconnect switch removed all drains to the battery bank.
When in doubt, for storage, disconnect the negative battery cable.
Judging from the age of them in your other post they didn't have them newfangled safety devices.. all joking aside usually those two are not included in the battery disconnect now as they are just that safety devices. I used my battery disconnect for the first time this last winter and forgot I had done it. so, I de winterized, loaded the rv got the fridge running and everything, pulled the slides in hooked up and away we went. when I got to the destination I noticed there were no lights on the fridge and everything in there wasn't as cold as it normally is and in a moment of brilliance it dawned on me that U may have turned off the battery disconect switch ... sure enough.
so the reason the safety devices bypass the switch is because if I was plugged in I can still use everything in my RV even if the battery switch is turned off.
