To start the motor in the RV we have to push the " chassis" toggle to "connect". A green light comes on. If we don't " disconnect" later the battery for the motor goes dead. The other toggle labeled "coach" and when "connected has a red light that comes on. We use that when we are plugged in to 30 amp shore power. I am not sure if it is wired correctly. We cannot figure out how to camp using just the house batteries.

With everything off and shore power disconnected, just turning on the coach switch should engage the coach batteries and provide power to all house 12v systems.
