Question Main Switch

Your main power switch is a 120 volt circuit breaker in the circuit breaker power box. It will be a single 30 amp or a double 50 amp depending on your RV.
New owner of a 2018 Freedom Elite 24FE, I have this main switch as well with the red light, I hear the click noise as well but if house lights are on they done shut off, the switch returns to its position after letting go. Thanks for your explanation but if it does indeed cut off the battery's VIA solenoid, how come the house lights stay on when no shore power is connected? My owner manual was missing I even downloaded it and it doesn't really talk about this switch but refers to a "master battery disconnect switch" which my coach does not have. So I'm really confused about this switch and what it does. I have just installed a battery kill switch in the battery compartment just so I can finally store it.
