When I asked for an explanation they informed me that this motor home only had one solenoid for both switches and that both switches were connected to the same solenoid right from the factory, which was placing too much of a load on the solenoid causing it to burn out. The RV repair shop has unhooked the chassis disconnect switch from the solenoid so now the chassis switch is constantly hot and in essence there is now no disconnect for the chassis.
Have you ever experienced any issues with your disconnect switches and do you know if you have a separate solenoid for your chassis disconnect and your coach disconnect?

I have never heard of 2 switches for one disconnect. Chassis and house are 2 different systems. Sometimes they are combined for emergency start, but there should be 2 solenoids. You really should not need a chassis solenoid unless something is draining the system. Put a disconnect switch directly on the battery if you feel the need. Any autoparts store or HF. about $7-$10.
