Mains Hook UP

On my old Hymer I used to just plug in the mains lead and didn't think anythung about it
Instruction book in my newer Hymer says i should turn of the mains switches inside before pluging in lead outside
What does everyone else do?

I kept looking at post 19 as that’s what I linked to not & understanding your follow up.
Until I finally saw post 20
