Can anyone tell me what these buttons do?

[autorot8]

This is my dad's motorhome and he is not sure what the buttons on the far left and second from the right are for. The far left looks to be a battery disconnect or something. These are on the front dash, just below the monitor for backup camera. It is a 2015 Itasca Sunstar 27N.

Don't feel bad. We had our rig for a year before I figured out the switch by the sink was the electric hot water element...discovering other switches took time, too.

There may be some truth in that post (last half)

1: Boost/Emergency Start/Aux Start as someone else said this connects the chassis and house batteries when pressed to give you a built in jump start... Often needed on older rigs where the house does NOT charg the chassis. This is ifthe switch spring returns to off.. If it does not (If it is a straight toggle) then it is a battery disconnect.

2: Fans.. Not sure which but likely the two high mounted defroster fans

3: Radio battery selector (This is the true part) So you can run the dash radio off either HOUSE or CHASSIS batteries and hear about the briallent thing you did on your way to the campground on the radio.

4: Spare/blank/user defined.

But it is all explained in the owners manual section 3.

LOL! I think we all need to get out camping after a long winter!

Thanks everyone for your responses. I will have my dad try the radio with ignition off. Not surprising the dealer was of no help and Winnebago did not get back to him.

The first one on the left is for connecting the House battery to the Chassis battery to start the engine if the chassis battery is dead or low. You push it down and hold it there then start the engine, release the switch after it starts. The next switch is for the fan on the dash or up on the counsel at the top of the windshield. The 3rd switch is to use the dash radio and have it run from the house battery instead of having to have the ignition on and then it is running from the chassis battery. To test, Turn the ignition ON and then turn the radio on. then turn the ignition off and the radio should go off, then turn that 3rd switch on and see if the radio comes back on. 4th switch is probably a spare.

The second switch is for the window fans, two settings, top is low, bottom is high. Have the same setup in my winnie. Why not throw them and see what they do?

I love it! Actually I think the one that looks like a little radio will let you turn on the radio using the house batteries, without the ignition key turned on. Try it and see.

I like it, I think I'll put some of those in too.

The one on the left connects the chassis battery with the house battery on a momentary basis. The blank one is most likely a spare
