Just curious, what's your phantom load?
Hey All, Just curious if you have ever measured the parasitic draw on your camper. I started probing 1 fuse at a time with an ammeter, to see what's using power when it's just sitting the driveway....

I'm sure Bob is talking about a kill switch/disconnect right at the battery. This is the same as removing the battery ground wire, no power to anything. The type typically factory installed does not disconnect everything.

Yes Jerry, I should have been more clear.
A switch right at the batteries to completely disconnect all power.
I call it a kill switch. Guess I should refer to it as a battery disconnect switch.
I recently came back from a road trip to Phoenix with the TT, and due to the piles of snow around here I opted to drop it at a storage yard until things thaw out a bit.
After I had the hitch unhooked and the jack down, I rotated the disconnect switch and pulled the 'key' out of it, and locked up the front storage area where the switch is located.
As I went to get in the truck, I noticed the light on the power jack was on! Got out, went over, turned it off, back on... then ran the jack up and down a bit. Opened the storage area, yup, switch is still off. Opened up the trailer and went to the main control panel - everything is off, none of the lights work, etc.
Apparently the battery disconnect switch kills everything *but* the jack, and the LED light on the front of the jack. That's as wired from the factory...
