Battery cutout switch

Any suggestions for a battery cutout switch to put on a Forest River Surveyor 220RBS using two 12 volt batteries?

I agree with babock and just bought this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00445KFZ2/

I can't control individual batteries, but was more looking for a simple on/off.

I actually replaced a key'd one. I wasn't sure if it was up to the new wire sizes that I'm getting into with my new battery + inverter setup. Bought it on eBay a long time ago.

Yup! What babock and that other guy said.
A billion times better than a knife switch.

Perko Marine battery selector switch. It has positions Battery #1, Battery #2, both, off. I have used them for the last 40 years on my saltwater boats with zero issues.

BlueSea also makes a 1/2/Both switch if that is what you want.

Really not much point to using a dual switch.
Just simple on off blue sea.
