Typically anything that is operated by the remote control board (assuming you have a remote) is independent of the disconnect switch. Even on the non-remote controlled rigs, the slide, landing gear and stabilizers are independent. With the remote control units, the energized remote board in the rig, will drain a battery if the rig is left unattended for extended periods of time. I did not think the awning worked on non-remote rigs, but these days, the variety of electrical setups does not surprise me! Many have installed isolation or cutoff switches at the battery to eliminate this battery drain.
