RED on/off switch in front storage area
My 2007 Silverback 30LSTS has a RED 2"x2" square on/off switch mounted on the back wall of the front storage compartment. Unit has 2 - 12Volt batteries which are each connected to switch along with cable to power strip. Owners manuel has no information regarding switches function/purpose. I can send pictures if helpful. Thanks

Thanks Guys,
Next question. If i turn this switch to off will the batteries continue to be charged by the Converter/Charger?

No, the switch totally isolates the batteries from the camper.
