Yeah I decided since I just got this camper and am not too familiar with it yet, I'm just going to install one of those basic dis-connect under the battery box cover (if it fits). I'm mostly concerned about the battery going dead while in storage. As time goes on and I learn more about the rig I will venture in to something more substantial maybe mounted inside by the door (like there should be). -W

I'm sure you know this but , The radio, lights, heater, water pump, slide out, power jack, and brakes all work on battery power, as well as the awning.  I used to remove my battery when I stored it elsewhere. If I needed power for any reason, I would just plug into my tow vehicle. But now I keep home and plug into an outside 15 amp receptacle. I had dropped my 195 off for some service last October, and it sat on their lot for a month. I was very surprised to see the battery level was still fine. Maybe if you bring one of those mobile battery jumper units down every 4-5 weeks and give it a small charge it would be fine?

If the battery is in a case, especially if the case is locked down, a cut-off switch is much more convenient. Disconnecting is cheaper, but less convenient. It is a matter of choice.]]> Sat, 01 Feb 2020 07:48:21 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13278&PID=129088#129088 Loss of power w battery : Originally posted by WiratThanks... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13278&PID=129087#129087 Author: Olddawgsrule

Or just dis-connect it..

Short answer: No. I installed one myself.

I have the same question regarding the 12V cutoff switch. We just bought a used 2019 R-Pod 191 and I noticed the lights from the radio and USB port still on. I searched around for a main 12V cutoff switch to prevent the battery from draining and could not find one. Do R-Pods not come with a main power cutoff?]]> Sat, 01 Feb 2020 05:08:28 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13278&PID=129082#129082 Loss of power w battery : Your lights, pumps, fans, etc... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13278&PID=128161#128161 Author: furpod

Your lights, pumps, fans, etc all work on 12v. The only thing you need shore power for is a/c, microwave, and possibly TV. If none of the 12v stuff is working on battery, then it's a fuse or wiring problem.
