I asked a Motorhome Service center about installing a disconnect switch and they basically thought I was crazy for asking. I am but I was surprised they figured it out so quickly :-)

They say they can do but charge $159/hour plus parts so it would cost me
around $400
Well you're not crazy for asking as "storage mode" will drain your house battery in a few weeks (or sooner). So install that battery disconnect IF the RV will be stored where the batteries won't freeze. If it gets cold enough to freeze the batteries - remove them.

And don't pay CW to install the disconnect - it's easy enough even Bob has installed two of them.
