battery boost switch

where is the battery boost switch on a 2018 galleria? The chassis battery went dead, shouldn't I be able to draw power from the coach batteries. The coach was plugged in. I was told to press the battery boost button but I could not find it.

Unfortunately, I can't help you locate it.

However, doesn't that rig come with one year of roadside assistance that will get you a battery jump start?

You probably can. It's just a matter of locating that switch. Ours is a switch similar to the ones used to extend our awning.
In the REV it's on the dash and the same color as the dash with no marking indicating what it's for. Luckily, our dealer pointed it out when we did the walkthrough. Unfortunately, he didn't tell us that we had to hold the switch down while starting. So, since we have't had a dead coach battery since, we don't know if it works. (not complaining)

I have a small rocker switch down low on the dash to the right of the steering column. The is a sticker below it saying this vehicle equipped with remote engine start etc etc. The switch is either on or off, holding it does not apply. I am wondering if this is the switch

That's probably it. Don't know how you'd know until you have a dead battery and try it.

While in the Driver's seat, check the left side dashboard for a switch to change to House batteries. You have to hold while stating. Once you let go of switch its back to normal.

The remote start enable switch is on the right side of the panel below the steering column and the battery combiner switch looks exactly like that one but is on the left side of the steering column.
