The only thing this switch turns "off" is charging to the batteries if you are plugged in to Shore Power (SP). It disconnects the house battery bank from the DC buss.
If you are not plugged into SP then when this switch is "off" everything electrical in the "house" part of the RV will be off since there will be no power to the DC buss from the house battery bank and no power to the AC buss from SP.


Issue 2: when RV is not externally plugged into 30amp, a few things still work and a few dont. The slide, awning and lights work. TVs, external and most of the plugs inside the RV dont work. Of the outlets, only the usb charge plug and the rear radio in the bedroom has power. I assumed plugs like the passenger plug for the work station should work, especially while driving down the road???
You have two different electrical systems in an RV:
12 VDC which runs things like the slide, awning, lights, control power for the fridge, furnace and water heater.
120 VAC like in your house which powers the outlets like in your house as well as the Air Conditioner, Microwave, electric element in the water heater, electric element in the fridge, AND the Converter - which converts the 120 VAC to 12 VDC to power the DC buss and loads, AND charge the house battery bank if the master power switch is "on".

So your RV is working as it should - you have no "electric wiring problems"

I recommend you download and study Ed Felkner's crowd sourced Axis/Vegas manual at: https://www.thorforums.com/forums/f1...nual-4961.html

to better understand how to operate your RV.

Welcome to the forum and have fun!
