Battery Disconnect switch
The battery disconnect switch provides power to all 12 volt appliances, such as the water pump, the refrigerator, and so forth.
This switch should be off when you are not using your Roadtrek, and on whenever you are driving or camping. The light on
the switch will indicate the position of the switch.
Battery disconnect switch Inverter switch
Onboard 120 Volt AC power
The inverter switch in the upper right corner of the rear electrical panel turns on the inverter, which produces 120 volt
household current from the battery bank. Turn this switch on whenever you wish to use any 120 volt appliance, such as the
television or DVD player, or want to plug one of your appliances into an electrical receptacle. Turn this switch off upon retiring
at night or when the system is not in use, since the inverter produces a small but steady drain on the batteries even though
none of the 120 volt electricity is being used.
The "Power Saver On" setting will shut the inverter down to save power when there are no loads being used. There will be a
20 second delay if you turn something on, after which the inverter will be out of sleep mode and supplying power. To avoid
this delay (and consequently use more power), select the "Power Save Off" setting.
