Battery Disconnect on a 1997 Damon Intruder 352

Does anyone have any idea where the battery disconnect would be on this coach? The battery control center is located in the battery bay in the basement. There are no switches, just relays and fuses. I've looked under the hood and there is nothing there that resembles a disconnect switch. Any help would be appreciated. The only 12 volt power that I have with everything off is the steps. None of the 12 volt lights work, refer, etc. Everything works once you are plugged into shore power or you run the generator. Thoughts?

    I can't think of that exact year, but many coaches do not have a battery disconnect. Many RV'ers install them.

    My 06 Daybreak has the switch on the left wall of the stairwell. Right above the light switches. Also my house batteries are under a step in the stairwell. Must be lots of differences in those years. I do have an inline breaker / fuse for my jacks that is under the pump motor. You need to lay on the ground in front and look up. With them, it could be anywhere. One thing that happened to me was a ground wing nut on one house battery wouldn't tighten and that effected just about everything. That might not be your problem because you said you could start your generator. Mine wouldn't start without that ground connection.

    I don't believe it has a disconnect switch. There are 3 solenoids in the BCC and I think one of those is for the disconnect.
