I got one and I'm confused, it works and I see no reason to ever mess with it again. It's one of those things on the camper that I don't need

You're over-thinking it IMO.
off = no power
on = power
There you go. You nailed it. "BOTH". I'm done.

An easy way to determine if you've disconnected the battery from most everything except the propane detector is ... If you can pull out the red lever ... battery is disconnected ... If you can't pull out the red lever ... battery is connected.

I just pull the key out when I want to disconnect. There is a light in the compartment where my switch is located. Easy to tell if power is on.

Ok so when you are traveling do you have the battery "disconnect" in the off or on position?

If you travel with fridge on then you'll not want to disconnect it.

I travel with the "disconnect" in the "on" position so I have power to the fridge. I run with the fridge on propane but even so it requires a 12 volt source to operate.
