2006 Four Winds Hurricane Dash wiring

We just took delivery of our 2006 Hurricane and so far are very happy.

One thing I noticed is that the dash radio and both 12v cigarette lighter outlets are wired to the coach batteries and are live all the time.

Is it possible to switch these accessories to an ignition sensed system on the engine battery?

Thanks

    Yes both are supplied by the chassis battery via the battery control center (BCC). It's mounted on the firewall above and to the left of the engine air cleaner.

    Rewiring is certainly possible by abandoning the original circuit and finding a free switched circuit. Probably the easiest way to power down would be to just enable the chassis battery disconnect. Just beware that the door steps are also powered by the chassis battery so the step out of the coach might be a bigger drop then expected if the disconnect is set.
