In the front compartment...comes from the battery. I thought it's a power cutoff but that's in the convenience center.

I've seen power cut off switches that looked like that. Are you the first owner? If not, possibly it was added by someone to actually cut the batteries completely off - the convenience center one leaves quite a few things powered.

Careful....That's the CMLC (Cruise Missile Launch Control) switch. You can use it to eliminate campers who violate proper camper etiquette rules such as....Leaving on their porch light/scare lights on all night, letting campfires smolder all day with no one around, playing loud obnoxious music or what ever bugs you at the particular time. It is a new option provided by many RV manufacturers. Enjoy but use carefully!!

I saw that on the build sheet....didn't know what a CMLC was. I was hoping it came with that!

Pull out your wiring schematic from Keystone for your model (should be with your manual) and see if you can locate the circuit its attached to. Since most of the Amish craftsmen employees don't have or use electricty, it could possibly been mis-installed from their farm implement division, Case Land and Mower Company.

I'm with Walt on this one. It appears based on cable color it is opening the neg. off the battery. Looks like writing on the dial. What does it say? Jim

It possibly is a battery cutoff switch for the inverter which powers your residential refer?

Wiring schematic? Keystone does not give out wiring or plumbing schematics as far as I know. I have called them a couple of times and asked for them. Are they now available? Is there someone I should try to contact?

Yeah. Good luck with the schematics. There aren't any.

I think ranch560 was yanking your chain.
As far as I know, Keystone doesn't use standardized wiring harnesses let alone provide electrical schematics to end users.
Try tracing the wires. It does, however, look like a cutoff switch. If you can read a part number on it, Google the part number.

DuneBuggyBuilder got it right. It is the power cut off for the inverter which supplies 120v to your residential frig. while not plugged up to shore power. If you are working on the inverter, or if it throws a code, you can do a hard reset by flipping the switch. Wait at least 5 minutes before turn the switch back on.

It is a battery cut off. We have it on our 2015 High Country. The cut off in the conv. center shuts off power to lights and such. As someone else said, this one cuts the battery power to the inverter. To completely cut power from the battery's, you need to shut down both switches.
