But if I do that, I might as well just use the switch that is already on the inverter or the switch on the inside remote and go into cabinet and turn off the Ant/Cable booster? Or if I wish to really show how much I have out into this, I could simply just turn off the Chassis Disconnect switch whenever I shut off the House Battery Disconnect switch, but that would be letting Winnebago off the hook  Right now they are telling it is suppose to shut everything down... If so; am willing to go to Missouri; because I am in the Show Me State of Mind  |
A common assumption is that the battery isolation, latching relay disconnects the house batteries from everything in the coach. It does not. It simply disconnects the power centers 12 volt fuse panel from the house batteries. The inverter, start relay for the generator, starter relay for the jacks and the BIRD/ BIM remain connected. Some other safety functions may also remain connected. The real reason the battery isolation latching relay is to keep the in-wall slide motors' brakes from depleting the batteries when the coach is parked and not being used.
