Battery Disconnect Question
My new TT has a battery disconnect. When I turn it off, the electric stabilizer jacks and the tongue jack still work. Is this normal? I thought it was supposed to kill power to everything.

Both of those pull a lot of current, and, they don't have a phantom draw. For those reasons, they are direct wired to the battery. Although you didn't mention it, the breakaway brakes SHOULD also be direct wired to the battery. The reason for the disconnect switch is to stop phantom draws from things like the television instant-on function, the radio with its preset channels memory, etc.
