We're Fred & Joan of South Carolina, transitioning from our Wonder 24MB motorhome to this 32 foot travel trailer. We have lots to pick up from forum members as it's been many years since we traveled in a TT. Looking forward to many miles of new adventures!

Glad to have you on the forum. Is there a reason that you have a thumbs down in the title that you need help with?

It appears to me that this Forum has so much information that it's overwhelming to a new owner such as myself. Is there a Basic information source for information that should be in the Owners Manual but isn't? For example:
1. When the Battery Disconnect Switch is OFF, can the house batteries be charged using a generator when there is no shore power available?

Unfortunately, no. The Reference Library (there's a library for each subject area) is an attempt to put the best of this forum's information in one location but it's far from perfect.

The best tip I can share is how to search. Don't use this forum's search engine, use Google or DuckDuckGo. Enter the keywords for the topic of interest and then restrict the search engine's results to this forum by adding site: gdrvowners.com at the endof the search string.

To answer your specific question . . . the battery switch must be in the ON position for the RV converter (battery charger) to charge the battery if electricity is supplied through a shorepower connection or by way of plugging the RV into a generator. In a modern RV, there are so many things that bypass this switch, the need for it to be there at all is questionable. There is really no need to ever turn this switch off (despite advice to do this from some dealers). This switch should be ON whenever you are using the RV and a cable should be disconnected at the battery terminals if the RV is in storage.
