Battery disconnect on a 5'er
I have a friend who recently purchased a new FW from CW. We were discussing the battery disconnect & he indicated that there was one inside the coach, but when used, the slides still function. Is that...

Unless the owner/user installs a positive disconnect at the ground side of the battery(ies), there is almost always some drain with the built in disconnect in the "open" position.
Almost always the propane detector. Sometimes the smoke detector; and/or slides; and/or landing gear. Pays your money and takes your chances.
Any disconnect from an auto or marine parts place will correct this.
With my battery disconnect, I have nothing working inside my 5er, no detectors, no lights, no slides, nothing...."IF" I'm hooked to shore power, My slides still work whether battery is bypassed or not.
