Battery Disconnect On/Off = Total Confusion

Oh, boy the terminology could not be more opposite and confusing. In my case (no residential fridge), there is one disconnect in the convinience center. If I can pull it out, the battery is disconnected and most of my 12v (lights for example) wont operate. If the disconnect is in, and turned so I can't pull it out, then the battery is connected and the 12 lights work.

My question is: the Keystone Owner's Manual says: "The battery disconnect should be on while driving to allow the batteries to be charged." What the frog do they mean by that????

I'm guessing that it means that the disconnect feature is ON so the battery is disconnected from those 12v items. Right? So does it make sense to have to have it in this state (diconnected) when attached to the trailer and driving?

Thanks,
