Different RV ,but mine is external, bolted to the A frame, facing backwards, just in front of the battery (need to bend over to see it).

Its kinda under the propane tanks where the two frame rails come together. If you need a picture, I'll be at mine in the morning and can send you one.

Gotta install one. Ammeter tells me I've got a 100mA draw with everything shut off inside, and its a PIA to keep unbolting the battery cable. This looks like the switch: Hella Battery Disconnect Switch.
I think the red handle is removable, which is why everyone puts a cable or some fishing line on it.

I installed a Blue Sea Model 6006 switch. Made for marine applications. It's more expensive than the one you linked to but the Blue Sea switches are top of the line products. It's $26.78 on Amazon.com right now. You might be able to get it a bit cheaper.
If you have or plan to add a second battery, get their model 6007.

Check at the front of trailer just under the propane tanks. There should be some type of key to turn battery off and on.

I'm a brand new inexperienced RV owner. I've neverbefore used a battery disconnect switch. Can you please tell me when I should be using it? For what purpose? Examples please. Thanks, Cadiz Couple

I use mine to disconnect the battery whenever I park my RV for storage. if it's not in storage, it's on.

Congrats! Use the switch to disconnect power flow from your battery to your rig when storing it. There are several items that have parasitic draw on a battery even if you shut down all inside switches. Go to Walmart. $6-7 for a switch. Attach to negative term on you battery. When you put it in storage use this. When you hookup to go camping be sure to reconnect the battery so you'll have your trailer brakes and anything inside you might need that runs off 12v.

I actually remove my battery after I put it in storage. I used a trolling motor quick connect which makes it plug and play so the connections on the battery do not have to be messed with.

Should it be in ON position when not in storage? Or is it the reverse? I have two batteries. Lights work inside no matter what position disconnect key is in?

Yes you should be in the "on" position when not in storage, but I always turn mine "off" if I'm not using RV. During the winter months I remove battery and place a battery tender on it. Were you connected to shore power at the time? If so your converter is powering your lights. If battery disconnect is "off" at that time your battery will not charge.
