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...

Is that common with any unit having slides & should he install something like a Blue Sea's @ the batteries ? I would think so.
My question: Is this common practice on FW's with slides & why ?
On my Komfort, the OEM disconnect kills everything 12v =except= the landing leg and the slides. No 12v lighting, gas detectors, TV, stereo, or anything with a parasitic draw. This includes the power converter, so my FW will NOT charge with the disconnect open (no power). I found this out the hard way. :-( No reason not to have it this way, since there's no parasitic draw from the slides and jacks.
