Chassis battery disconnect

2017 37HJ
Does this unit have a chassis battery disconnect anywhere?

Not really a disconnect but there is a 100 amp testable fuse mounted on top of the hold down. Not sure if you can open the circuit or not. I have only had to reset it a couple times when I had some shorts.

No, not from Jayco. Freightliner offered one as an option on the chassis. The switch (if present) was inside the driver's door on the floor next to the seat.

Simple switch like below works to keep tiny drains from killing your battery. Under $12, solid brass, simply attach to post, attach cable to switch. Unscrew about 3 turns to kill power, screw back in to turn on power.

Unfortunately would not work on chassis batteries without modifications due to cable arrangement. Plus the amp rating is way too low to crank over the Cummins.

Not needed for the Chassis... As long as your coach is powered by shore power, your house batteries are charged along with the chassis batteries.
