Russ,

Thanks for the response; what you just said reminded me of something. When I removed my inverter and sent it off to be repaired last year I tried turning off both house battery and engine battery switches and I STILL HAD 12 VOLTS COMING TO THE INVERTER! I was at Newell at the time and Ron (a Newell electrician) told me that they wire the batteries DIRECTLY to the inverter! Turning the battery switches off WILL NOT KILL 12V TO THE INVERTER. I mention this so that others who read this will know about it. When working on electrical components in the coach double check to see if the voltage is killed to the component BEFORE touching it.

THESE BATTERY SWITCHES GIVE A FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY !!!!!!

I think what I will do is like you said, remove the positive cables from all of the the house batteries and the engine batteries. That is the ONLY way I can be sure that there is no power going to the inverter. Of course the shorepower must be unplugged also.
