Do the reclining chair electric functions automatically turn off?
Thanks to those that have answered questions out here. We are finally figuring out everything on our new camper. I think we have reached our last question before our maiden voyage. Our reclining chairs have light, heat, and vibration features. There are 2 settings for heat and 3 for vibration. The indicators for the setting levels are a slight change in the brightness of the button. Aside from how it feels, it's hard to tell the difference between on and off, let alone discern the diffence for the varying levels. My question is if these features will automatically turn off after a period of time? I'm mostly concerned about when we return and store the camper in our shed plugged into power. I could see these getting bumped or turned on by kids and left for weeks on end.
Thanks!

Could you flip the breaker for the receptacle that they are plugged into?

I can't answer to the heat or lights. I was sitting in my recliner last night using the massage and it did shut off by itself. I had to restart it a couple times. You could just unplug them during storage.

You can unplug them, should be an outlet on the floor behind the chairs. Gimmicky at best in my opinion, unplugged mine for the same reason

Just for peace of mind I would test it myself. Turn one on one evening with no one sitting in it. Check it periodically to see if it goes off on it's own.

I unplugged mine after day 2. Assuming these controls are located the same on all recliners. Mine are located immediately in front of the cup holders. I found it's impossible to get up without turning on one or more of these features. I will just enjoy a plain, basic recliner, but will miss the blue LED lights on the floor...........NOT!

UPDATE - ANSWER
We took our first trip this last weekend. Both the vibration and the heat turn themselves off after a period of time. They do not turn off at the same time, however.

I used a short power strip for our chairs. Plugged it in behind the the chairs then placed it under the foot rest. Then plugged the chairs into it. Much easier to shut off the power to the chairs.

I know the lights turn off because we sometimes have to turn them back on. I would have to assume the heat and vibration turn off automatically, as well. The reason I assume this is because I've been sitting next to the dogs, several times, when one of the knuckleheads turns something on...We leave them in the camper and have never returned to a chair feature being activated. Not science, but I'm reasonably sure about that. Cheers!

Mine do turn off on their own... I had to build protectors for mine as the dogs kept turning them on. A thin piece of board with a piece of foam cut to fit in the cup holder. Glued the foam to the board and presto...puppy proof...
