Battery disconnect

Hi all,

My 2019 3791RD has two battery disconnects. One is in the front storage compartment by the hydraulic system, the other is in the water system control area. What are each for?

The one in the wet-bay, convenience center turns your battery off to the main coach. It stops the current between the battery and your converter, also stopping any current going to house lights, slides, water pump, entertainment center, or anything that uses battery 12 volt DC for power.

The other switch goes to your inverter. It's purpose is to disconnect the battery from your inverter. Your inverter is used to power your residential refrigerator when you are not hooked up to electric shore power.

Lots of things are wired direct from the battery and small circuit breakers behind the battery box. Check out all the wiring that does not go thru a switch
