Solar Question.
Question: When I shut off the battery with the "shut off" knob inside the motorhome and park the vehicle for awhile, will the solar panel still charge the batteries?

It's obvious I would turn them off during winter storage. I guess I should ask the RV place that installed the panel.
Depends on what exactly you will turn off - loads, solar or everything. Even if there are no loads, in 6 months with no maintenance charging a wet battery will discharge down to zero and will lose some capacity (if will survive at all).
Yes, if you can't check the circuit with handheld meter, you should ask somebody who knows.
For future - the term "technology" in the last 15-20 years has been (mis)approriated by IT and audio-video geeks. Questions like yours are usually discussed in Technical Issues forum.
