The fact they call it a disconnect switch creates the confusion. Just calling it a battery switch could eliminate it.
ON means batteries connected, OFF, not connected.
Batteries should be connected whenever RV is in use or connected to shore power.
Simple test to figure out the On/Off question.
Disconnect both shore power cord and vehicle power cord.
Turn on a light or stive vent hood fan. Any 12 volt appliance will do but either of these are good indicators.
If they work, batteries are connected. If not, move the battery switch to other position. Mark for future reference.
All other sources of power must be disconnected so only batteries are the source.
