Hi Tom,

Welcome back. I have a disconnect switch in the battery compartment that kills all coach battery power. If I don't kill that switch, then the batts will drain over time with the parasitic loads on the coach power system.

I have not had to kill the chassis battery.

My disconnect switch is manual. One of the projects on my to do list is to install a remotely controlled solenoid in place of the manual switch so I can isolate the batteries using a switch at the door instead of having to open the battery compartment.
