Just bought 2024 192 rpod and figuring out how everything works. I noticed that when I have no power connected to pod and battery disconnect is turned off the bathroom outlet still has power. Is this normal?

Off hand, I can’t see how that can happen. You either need to have shore power hooked up or a bank hooked to an inverter.

Inverter charges the battery and the battery powers the bathroom lights. All outlets are 110v, so no power when shore power is not connected. So if you are saying the bathroom light is on, that might mean your battery disconnect is malfunctioning and battery power is still getting thru.

Just to keep terminology accurate, the converter/charger charges the batteries and converts 110v to 12v when connected to shore power. When connected, everything 12v and 110v should work. When not connected, anything 12v will work as long as the battery is charged. 110v outlets will not work.
If an inverter is installed and connected to the battery(s) and has a transfer switch, then everything 12v and 110v should work with the exception of the AC.
