Also, what are the three switches located in the bathroom used for?
Thanks.

I am assuming you have a unit with a 30 amp power unit and, in fact have the energy management system from the factory. I have a 2017 GreyHawk 29W. I have two A/C units on the roof. Most R/Vs with two A/Cs run on a 50 amp circuit, which is more than ample to handle everything in the coach that runs on electricity, and all at once. The GreyHawk and most Class C motorhomes come with a 30 amp circuit that limits the amount of current that can be used at one time. With that being said, If I want to run both A/C units, my microwave, all of the interior lights, the coffee pot, etc. all at one time, it will exceed 30 amps. So, rather than trip a circuit breaker, the energy management system, if equipped with one, will shut down what it has to in order to keep things within the 30 amp parameter. An example would be for the management system to shut off one A/C compressor until the load returns to being within the 30 amp range. I hope this helps to understand what the energy management system does. Also, when you are plugged in, or on generator power, the system will display just how many amps are being consumed at any given time.
As to the bathroom switches, mine has 4 and they control the bathroom light, the hallway light, the shower light, and the ceiling fan in the bathroom.
