Is there a battery disconnect control on the Jayco's

[Kountrydoc]

Hello everyone. I just purchased my new 2015 Jayco Jay Flight 29 QBS and I'm not sure if there is a battery disconnect control I can turn off or if I have to disconnect the battery terminals. I have seen disconnect switches on others but don't see one on here. Does anyone have any suggestions? I got it next to my home on the rv pad but don't want to continuously disconnect and reconnect battery terminals. Let me know.

I know mine didn't come with a disconnect . In my opinion there are a couple of options. 1 is to install one directly on the battery in the form of a simple one post disconnect found in most auto stores. 2 is to install a dial type disconnect which unless your planning on switching between 2 batteries seems like more work to me. I just choose to keep a wrench with me and disconnect the ground when I have it stored for any period of time.

Jayco dealer showed me the in-line fuse on the positive cable coming off the battery, he said just remove the fuse when TT not in use. This I have done and my battery is still at full charge after being home 2 months... Just gotta remember it when time to go.

Kountrydoc, i just bought a 29qbs also and asked about battery disconnect and was told there isn't one on it. i will be adding a 2nd battery and a four way battery switch sometime this summer. Congrats on the trailer by the way!

Canadiankid what do you do on your trailer? Do you disconnect the negative terminal?

ya, and twice now i've dropped the wing nut into the box and needed my wife to get her little hands in there to get it. ill bring a switch and supplies camping one of these trips out and add it in. Couple pops and some trailer tinkering!! cant wait!!

Bought one at walmart for under $5. works great. Spin the green knob and its disconnected. ALWAYS hook to negative.

That is why I have two spare wing nuts in my parts bin.

Most trailers do not come with a battery disconnect. I just remove the inline fuse at the battery.

We weren't happy with our battery setup and recently upgraded it. In the process we added a circuit breaker in anticipation of upcoming solar upgrades. It's mounted to the rear of the battery box in a standard outdoor outlet box. All I do is, open the box cover and push a button to disconnect.
