New 2014 Wolf Creek 850- Battery Kill Switch?

[jpmiller]

Hi. After months and months of searching for a new TC we landed on a fairly stripped down 2014 Wolf Creek 850. Just brought it home today and installed 2x 6V Golf Cart batteries from Sams Club. Wile checking everything out I cannot for the life of me find the battery kill switch. Does anyone know if they all come with a battery kill switch or just select models? Thanks!

I have a 2014 WC 850 also, I have not found a kill switch either.

anutami - Yes got it from A1. Seemed very reasonable, plus I can add what I want. I do have it on a f-350 and I don't think the truck dropped but a bit. Went up the mountain at pretty good pace. Going to add the little coleman a/c, phat ladder, solar, and rack system on top. Since the camper sits almost flush to the end of the bed, thinking of aluminess bumper with boxes for a honda 2000 generator. To me the truck and camper are a perfect match. However my wife and kids think that using a ladder to get in is a bit much 🙂

joeshmoe - I like what you did with yours, and I think I will follow your idea.


Thanks!

Nothing from the factory here either. I installed my own. It serves as both a circuit breaker and battery disconnect. I think Mike got lucky as his is the first model year and they figured, why not? I'm guessing by the next model year, they figured, why? Although I disagree. It should at least be an option.

It'd be nice if Northwood would produce an owners manual that actually reflects the model that you have. Maybe they do. I don't know. I got handed an AF specific manual which is chock full of both useful and useless info., respectively. According to the manual, my unit is "equipped", among other things, with a kill switch.

I lived without a battery isolator for several years, but I installed one when I built a new electrical control panel and feel much happier I can quickly isolate all the electrics (I have an isolator for the hook-up and solar on the same panel.

So worth fitting one in my opinion.

Congrats on the purchase! Was that the one from a-1 in nevada? I almost bought it, but decided to get one with more options. I am kinda second guessing myself after weighing mine and finding out how much all my options added in weight!

No kill switch in mine

My factory installed cut off switch is behind the sink to the left of the automatic transfer relay. Mine is a Blue Sea Systems model. If you don't have one they're easy enough to install. Install it on the positive main lead from the battery.

Host's is inside the camper on the left at the step. I'd look in the basement. Then, look for your manual or call Wolf Creek.

Not under the sink, so must not come with it. Thanks!

The wolf creeks don't have a kill switch, or at least I haven't found one on mine. The literature is Arctic Fox based so will reference things only on them but not the WC.

On the Arctic Fox it is under the sink. Check there.
