The smaller wire goes to the solar hook up.  Just disconnect it and put the switch on the larger wire.  There's a lot disagreement about whether to put the switch on the negative or positive wire. Personally,I prefer the negative wire, but really either will do the job.  The point is, you want to interrupt the circuit and a switch on either ide will do that.

Hi,
Just purchased a 2015 R-pod 178 and was going to install a battery disconnect switch.
I have just the one battery.  When opening the battery box, I see 2 cables going to the positive terminal (1 larger gauge cable and one smaller gauge).  There are also 2 cables going to the negative terminal (again 1 larger gauge wire and 1 smaller gauge wire).  

Anybody know what the smaller gauge wires go to?  I don't have a motorized lift jack....

Should I switch both wires? (still not sure if I will put the switch on the negative side or positive side, everybody has different opinions on that...)

Thanks for the input....

Steve
