29RKS Battery Cutoff Switch?

Just bought a new 2020 29RKS. Does anyone know if there is an isolation or shut off switch to the 12 volt battery? if so where is it located? If not plugged in to shore power I assume that the battery will discharge eventually due to power feeding the LP/CO2 detector.
Our old Glacier Edge TT had a shut off switch that we would turn off if the unit was not connected to shore power and not used for a while.

I have a 2017 29RKS and don’t have one. It wouldn’t be too hard to add one at the batteries. I haven’t done that yet to my trailer. I added a couple solar panels and they’ve kept my batteries charged and maintained while the trailer isn’t in use.

My 2017 29RKS doesn't have one either. When not hooked up to shore power, I use a batter tender, if the trailer is going to sit for a few weeks (which isn't often). During winter months also. Also, the electrical conections to battery are "wing nuts", prettty easy to disconect.

I also added a full disconnect at the batteries.

A switch like this would be easy to install.

I used one like the previous post - Ran the Negative Battery wire through it.
No way any trickle usage is getting out with the negative disconnected.

I have put battery disconnect on about ten trailers. I get the parts at Home Depot for about $27.00. I use 120 V outdoor household parts.

Hi, again, where did you install the switch?
