Battery Disconnect switch
I just bought a Grand Design Transcend. It has a battery connect switch. How does this work? When I am parked in my drive should it be on or off? What about when I am plugged in?

Leave it on when using the camper, connected to shore power, or while towing.
When storing the camper, turn the switch off. This will prevent parasitic (phantom) loads from draining your battery. It's nice yours came with one.
Just sold our TT to our niece this week. I added one of these switches to the battery box since it didn't have one. I also added a solar panel, and charge controller, to the setup. This connects to directly to the battery, which allows charging even when the switch is off.
