Battery disconnect

Our camper does not have a battery disconnect. And I have never had occasion to want one. When do you use yours? (And don't say "When you want to disconnect the battery.")

I don't mean to be cute, but the only time I use my battery disconnect is when I want to disconnect my battery. My Charger/converter works with or without my battery. With no battery but still plugged into shore power, I can still use my RV. If I want to remove my battery I can and the positive cable is disconnected and not just laying loose while hot. I have used my battery to jump start some of my other equipment, and on a couple of occasions used it in my tractor. I have also used it for the brake battery on my flatbed trailer.

EDIT: I think not having a Battery Disconnect Switch in a RV is like not having Main Circuit Breaker in your house. It is true that you can just remove the battery cable, but it is also true you can just pull the house circuit breaker.
