Not sure if I fully understand your question but ..........
As Steve pointed out in his post, when the battery is disconnected via the switch, it is in effect, completely isolated from the rest of the circuits. No current/voltage is coming in and nothing is going out. Your battery can't be charged either by the TV or by shore power.
When towing, you should ensure that your breakaway switch can still be activated; and if you disconnect the battery, there will be no current going to this switch resulting in a "dead" breakaway switch. So, before you take off, just make sure that the battery disconnect switch is in the right position enabling your battery to be charged by the TV while underway.
If you want your battery to be charged by the converter/shore power, then you also need to ensure that the battery disconnect switch is turned to the correct position.
