Quick and easy way to cut off power to T@B?

I'd like to be able to cut off all power to my 2007 DM T@B while I sleep at night. Would I do that with the breaker switches under the driver's side seat? Or some other way other than unplugging? Thanks in advance.

    If you are plugged into shore power, you only need to throw the 30A main breaker in the panel. That is effectively the same as unplugging.

    You will also need to disconnect your battery, as it will continue to provide 12V power after shore power is disconnected.

    One caveat...on my 2015, the CO/propane detector is hard wired. No power = no detector. Not sure how the 2007's were configured.

    Very good points. I wonder if there is a way to disconnect battery power other than at the battery itself?

    You can also disconnect the battery by pulling the 12V "battery charger" fuse in the panel.

    However, if I were going to do that on a daily basis, I'd install a second cutoff (or relocate the existing one) inside next to the converter.

    (Again, I'm basing this on the wiring configuration of my 2015, but I suspect yours is not much different.)
