I added a battery cut off switch in side the front storage compartment.it is mounted just above the junction block. Switch is a marine type with 4 positions ..Off.. both batts..or batt #1..or batt #2..At this time I only have 1 battery . this type of switch was chosen for flexibility and future expansion.
Switch was purched from Bass Pro Shop for $25.00 and is a Blue Sea brand.
Additional materials were onle a 36 in battery cable with 3/8 in eyelet, # 4 guage. Standard automotive part available at AutoZone or Advance Auto,Costabout $4.50..

phranc,

Nice project and nice job! I did a similar project on my previous travel trailer.

Blue Sea Systems 12 volt stuff is great. I got mine from West Marine I believe. Another good brand is 12 volt switch product is BEP Marine. I used one of their switches too.

Thanks for sharing.

Gary,

Sorry about that! Turns out that phranc's images required Moderator Approval but why, I am unsure. As Admin, I could see them so I didn't know anything is wrong. I'll keep a closer eye on this to learn why it was required - first time for me.
