Battery disconnect

HI everyone
I recently purchased a 2007 Big Sky. I noticed that turning off the battery disconnect switch did not stop my front jacks from working. I am wonderning if turning it off will kill all the power to the inside where the gas detectors will not run my battery down
Thanks
Richard

I believe the purpose of the cut off id to isolate interior lights, appliances and gas detector. The jacks and slides will still work, at least they do on ours.

I thought that switch eliminated all on the fuse panel. I was wrong because my water pump ran when the switch was off. So I suggest you actually test and see what is working and not when the switch is off.

EDIT - I did not mention that it was plugged into 120 VAC so the converter was providing 12VDC power to the fuse panel.

My bust.

I had to replace my switch a couple of weeks ago. Nothing worked inside the coach, no lights furnace fan etc. Landing gear and slides will work because they are on their own circuit. Hope this helps.
