My 2018 21FBRS had a battery cutoff switch when I got it new.

Rockwood has been installing factory battery disconnect switches for at least 10 years.

two switches

The reason i ask this question is when i had my walkthrough on the tt they never showed this to me sooo i installed a switch on the battery box and just discovered it when i was removing the LP tank cover to install a window in the cover to see the valve for the tanks. now i feel dumb: sorry about it being upside down

Well, your new switch is better than the factory one and is sure to actually cut all power drains.

That’s the same switch I’ve used on every TT I’ve owned. One of the first mods I do if there isn’t a cut off switch already installed.
