It is usual for the battery disconnect switch to not include the trailer's breakaway switch pos wire, the LP alarm, the stereo, the jacks, and the slide motor.
To get a complete disconnect, have the switch going straight to the battery and all the pos wires on the outer side of the switch. (Except leave the breakaway switch wire right on the battery positive post, and don't fuse that wire either)
The one fat positive wire going to the battery gets a big fuse that can take all the amps, then the other wires (" branches") each get a smaller sized fuse and wire gauge according to the amps on that wire branch where their fuses are located near the bus.
