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?

The point being is even with a battery disconnect switch installed,some RV's are wired in such a way that there will be a small current drain.
This is why I was asking if one should be installed on BOTH sides of the battery, but was hopping one installed at the battery would eliminate the problem.
One switch is sufficient - all you are doing is breaking the electrical circuit when the switch is placed in the disconnect position. The same thing happens if you remove one of the battery cables.
However as stated before,your unit may be wired so there are small current draws for items such as carbon mox detectors.
