BATTERY DISCONNECTING

battery disconnect is just inside the entry door. Mercedes provides a separate chassis battery disconnect.
The 12-volt battery system plays a vital role in the use and enjoyment of your RV, the battery disconnects can
give you peace-of-mind by preventing unwanted discharging of the batteries during extended period of
storage. It is recommended that you leave the 12VDC system power on while traveling. Some slide mechanisms
require power to the motors to maintain the closed position of the slides.
NOTE:
If you plan to leave your RV plugged into 120-VAC at your home or campsite, it is advisable to check
your batteries monthly. If you are going to disconnect the batteries during storage, make sure they are fully
charged before disconnecting.
