Battery cut off switch
I want to put a battery cut off switch on my TT so I do not have to keep removing the cables when I store. The question, should I put on one or should on two to cut off both sides of the battery?

It is safer to put it in the negative lead. If you are working with the positive lead and your wrench touches any ground it will short the 12v to ground and cause a BIG spark and possibly damage. If working on the negative lead, what you are working on is already at ground, no problem.
If you really want it on the positive lead, disconnect the negative lead first.
There is no difference in functionality, positive or negative lead.
