Vegas/Axis Battery Disconnect Switch

When my 2015 Vegas is in storage I go down about every 2 months and run the generator and top off the house battery charge. I've noticed that after about 2 months storage the battery charge indication on the monitor lights will be at 2/3. So even with the USE/STORE switch in STORE there is a very low drain on the house batteries.

We are moving back to PA and I'll be storing the RV at the Mechanicsburg Navy Depot in unheated indoor storage. We'll be living far enough away from Mechanicsburg that I won't be able to top off the batteries every 2 months by running the generator. I want to install a battery disconnect switch like many other owners have done; however, I don't see much space under the step where the batteries are located to mount a switch.

If any of you who have made this mod can post a picture of where you've mounted the switch and if you have a link to the kind of switch you installed I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thanks.
