Master kill switch?

I am brand new to camping and just bought a Jayflight 267BHS. Does anyone know if there is a master kill switch for the battery? The lights and radio are working and I don’t want to run the battery down.

As far as I know there’s no master kill switch. On both of my Jaycos I’ve always disconnected the positive cable off the battery. It literally takes a few minutes to do so...

I can’t speak to your exact camper, but generally camper don’t come with a battery shut off.
Some folks install one of these:

Kohree Battery Disconnect Switch, 12V-48V Battery Isolator Power Cut Off Master Switch Waterproof for RV, ATV, Car, Marine, Boat, AUTO, with 4 Mounting Bolts, 275 Amps, (On/Off) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XTDSD4B..._1w2jFbPEF1SFN

Or something like it.

I know the brochure says it has one but we have a 2020 Jay Feather and there is not one so I installed one. Factory one will usually leave some parasitic draws on there mostly detectors and such still working.

I added a second switch between the battery and the factory switch. This way when I need to isolate the battery I can, and when I need to cut all power to the camper I can.

Here is the schematic behind my factory switch panel. YMMV....

So, my second added switch is between the 50 amp circuit breaker and the factory (depicted) switch.

EDIT: Sorry, just seeing this is TT. Mine is an Eagle HT fifth wheel.
