Battery Cutoff mounting

[flyfishMT]

Has anyone mounted a battery cutoff switch in the front storage bay? I've seen other brands put them here.

I can't really tell how the wires route because I have an enclosed under belly, but I got to think they are external - under the frame. The other thing I was thinking was surface mounting in the little nook behind the batteries, there's a junction box here.

This is the switch I have - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00445KFZ2

I put mine in the battery box on the tongue but used this one because the first switch broke after a few uses. This one is absolutely positive, couple of turns and it is off. But I only have one battery on the tongue and the wires are all hidden inside. $8 on amazon.

Mine is on the inside of the A-frame, right behind the battery box. Out of sight and convenient.

OP, that Blue Sea Systems switch is top shelf, excellent choice.

Here’s what I used: https://www.ebay.com/itm/401915423529
These are clearly marked on or off and the direction to turn them.

Thanks I learned that the hard way on my last camper. First one lasted about a week before I bought this one and it was still going strong 4 years later when I sold it.

How did you attach to the A-frame?

I actually had the dealer do it early on, but I believe they used self-tapping screws.
