Battery disconnect?

Can anyone tell me if there is a battery disconnect switch on the FR Wolf Pup 2020 16pf tt? It's sitting in storage just draining away! Previous campers had switches!! Tia.

Mine had one that was zip tied to the frame next to the battery. But it was toast and obviously all corroded and worn from being out in the weather so I took it off and through it out. I bought my unit used, so not sure if that was stock or not. I'll add a new one when I change over to LiFePo4 and move the battery inside.



As an Aside, I just hooked up a solar panel to mine to keep the battery topped up while I'm off camping in another camper. It does seem the battery drains away in less than 3 days. Not sure what is taking the power. USB Outlets? Gas Detector?



You can always just unhook one of the battery terminals

Moved thread from the Tech and Repair section to the Cherokee sub-forum since the OP is asking for model-specific information, as battery disconnect switch location is model-specific.

OP, stick and tin trailers generally don't usually come with factory battery disconnect switches but other Wolf Pup owners will know for sure.

I don't know if it's got a battery disconnect.

I'm cheap, so we just disconnected the negative battery cable after the battery was charged up. That keeps it from discharging.

At this point, you should measure the charge on the battery and if it's too low, take it home and put a battery charger/maintainer on it.

Thank you! I've checked everywhere so I figure just super easy to do the manual terminal disconnect!

Thank you! I'm definitely looking into the solar options for future boondooking.
