No battery cutoff?

AaronC

Another question re our new to us 2016 320 CSS. Should there be a battery cutoff switch? Nothing visible under the storage cover. Was this an option, or am I missing something?? Thanks much

@AaronC, I think battery cutoff switches became standard with the 2017 model. I have one of the first and my trailer came with one installed. It is in the front tub about 6 inches from the battery. If you cannot find one it may never have had one. Some owners installed their own, and I  have seen them mounted under the driver's side bench near the trailer converter. Some are outside of the bench and some inside. Depends on where the previous owner/s felt like mounting it, if they installed one. You may have a trailer that just needs an upgrade/modification. Good luck with this.  Denise

You can buy a water proof cutoff switch at Tractor/RV Supply sources, that can be mounted to a metal bracket (vs flush bulkhead mounting of maritime  switches) to allow mounting the switch in the tub/frame.  They are all metal construction too, with a spring like feel when switched on, so you can feel when off or on.

As an alternative, you can just pull the fuse at the battery.

12v battery selector switch, single or dual if you plan to expand to 2 batteries for boondocking, are about $25-30 and takes less than an hour to install. One common lug and an out to each battery. Some heat shrink, crimp terminal ends, and premade battery cable was all I needed. Auto parts, marine, RV, and most hardware stores carry them.
