And don't pay CW to install the disconnect - it's easy enough even Bob has installed two of them.
The key is know YOUR rig...
Both of mine, the coach disconnect has been complete... Batteries easily last a month plus with switch in Store. Others find a drain still from (in my opinion) a miswired coach and need to add a disconnect at the battery.
Very simple to do if needed.

A charged battery won’t freeze. A dead one will.
I never removed the batteries (when I was in Michigan)... Did check on the rig every month or so and ran genny for a bit which was enough to keep things topped off.
Nothing wrong with removing them if you wish... just never felt it was worth the effort.
