Battery disconnect on your Landmark?

[Possum51]

Has anyone installed a battery disconnect on their Landmark? Do you really need one?

I put one on my big horn it's not much use until you need it

I'm surprised you don't have one. My 2012 and friends 2014 Big Horns have it as standard item.

Do you have a setup like this near your batteries; maybe in the front compartment? If so, you may have one or two knobs as shown that are battery cutoffs.

That's exactly what we have!! Had no idea it was battery disconnect! I've been working non-stop ever since we got this trailer and haven't had anytime in it yet. But, as of last month I am retired. Now I get to enjoy it! Thanks!

If you'd like to know more about the components and 12V DC power setup, take a look at the Residential Refrigerator User Guide.

We didn't have one on our Elkridge, and added one.

We park our unit for 1-2 weeks during the season (sometimes longer). We flip to 'disconnected' anytime the unit is parked at storage. The batteries stay nice and charged that way - even after being in storage all winter (Dec-May/Jun), we have good charge in the batteries when they've sat completely disconnected. On our old system, without a disconnect, the CO monitor and other small uses would drain the battery over a few weeks of idle sitting... when we had our old camper parked out front, it never failed that the "low-battery" alarm on the CO monitor would go off at 3am and wake up the neighborhood.

I wouldn't be without a battery disconnect!
Glad you found yours!
