I use the Echo Wireless Brake system with my 184BS SLX7, and was set up by the fleet manager at a Jayco distributor on how to use the product. I also read through the owners manual and see nothing about “battery disconnect”. Can you tell me where you saw this info?

I have a 17 195RB and it did not come with a battery disconnect and noting in manual either. Have driven thousands of miles and have no idea why. How will you run lights inside, water pump etc. for lunch stops. Some fridges have need for 12 volts to operate under LP gas.

Doesn't make sense.

page 41under towingSection 4: Vehicle Operation
Towing
If your RV is equipped with the Command Control Bluetooth system, make sure you turn off
your battery disconnect switch according to the following instructions.
This caution label has been placed in an area near the
battery disconnect switch on your RV.
Your RV will travel safely and comfortably at highway speed limits. It will take longer than
a passenger automobile to reach that speed. Allow more time to go around vehicles you are
passing. Avoid situations that might require sudden momentum changes as the length of the
tow vehicle/RV combination affects your ability to quickly cut back into traffic. Swerves
and sharp turns, especially at high speeds, could result in loss of control of the tow vehicle/
RV. Slow down in advance of dips, bumps and railroad tracks to reduce the jolting to your
tow vehicle/RV combination. Proceed slowly and let the trailer tires pass over them before
accelerating.
Adverse weather conditions and extremes in terrain may affect the performance and handling of your tow vehicle. Do not operate the tow vehicle cruise control on icy or extremely
wet roads, winding roads, in heavy traffic or in any other traffic situation where a constant
speed cannot be maintained.
When descending a long hill, drop down into a lower gear or range. Avoid conditions that
require excessive and prolonged use of your brakes. Apply and release brakes at short intervals to allow them to cool. The tow vehicle transmission and engine will help in controlling
downhill speed and can lengthen brake life. Use care when accelerating or decelerating on a
slippery surface. Abrupt speed changes can cause skidding and loss of control.
 BEFORE TOWING YOUR RV ON THE ROADWAY: TURN OFF
THE BATTERY DISCONNECT SWITCH!
 Certain components inside the RV can unexpectedly activate which could

Something tells me you are in another OWNERS MANUAL.
Here is the current one that came with my trailer. Does your 195 have a Jayco Command System? I don’t think so…

I think the poster fell into the manual trap of information that covers a wide range of trailers. The manual is less than useful sometimes. We hauled our 195 for five years and 120,000 miles cross country north to south east to west.. and NEVER disconnected the battery. I don't believe the 195 has anything bluetooth save the radio remote and certainly not a Jayco Command system with switches. Most everything is manual save the water pump and lights.

The reason I found this post so interesting is that I was just warned on the forum that it is illegal to tow a travel trailer with a dead battery, in case of a disconnect! Sooo, you can imagine my interest when I read about a battery disconnect before rolling along! Bahahaha😆

Could this bolded statement mean to have the house battery connected, meaning do not have the house battery disconnected (turn of the disable)?
