In my coach whenever 120vDC is there; the charger and 12vDC are hot and I CANNOT turn them off (with On/Off Switch). If I must have them off, then I need to turn off the shorepower breaker. The latter is just logical to most IMO.
Does this not make sense what I suggest? Can't Thor improve their design to simplify?

Thors are wired that way too. If the converter is on it is powering the 12 VDC buss. But unless the USE/STORE switch is in USE (or the battery DISCONNECT switch is not disconnected) that 12+ VDC voltage (and current) will not flow to the batteries and charge them.
So what do you think the difference is between your Winnebago and Thor?
