I recently changed from a motorhome to a small travel trailer.I have the typical 12 volt battery mounted on the tongue in the plastic box.When in storage I like to unhook the battery.Rather than unstrapping the box,removing the cover and unbolting a cable has anybody found a switch that can be mounted in the side of the box?

I have one like this that I put in my RV and it does very well for complete isolation. I think it was around $30.Blue Sea Systems marine. This model has connections for two batteries.https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Selector-Battery/dp/B000FOPE1G

Highly reliable. :B

What you're needing is a "Master battery switch". There are less expensive ones than Blue Seas for a single circuit disconnect. Some even have a removable key, should you need more security:Keyed master switch
