It should just switch over without any switches. Mine is like all RV (at least that I know of) that just turn the lights on. If you have an inverter than there maybe something different to do. If I need electric power while drycamping I just fire up the generator.

What year is your MH?

Most everything runs on 12v all the time. The only difference is, when you're plugged into shore power the batteries are constantly being re-charged.

You shouldn't have to do anything, just enjoy.

Your question implies that things don't work correctly when your not connected to shore power since normally you don't have to do anything. If the 12 volt items only work when your connected to shore power then that's a sign that your batteries are toast, a battery fuse/breaker needs replacing or maybe a battery disconnect switch has been triggered.

Battery disconnect

Look for a battery disconnect switch either on the panel or on the battery connection itself. Same thing happened to me as a newbie.
