not sure if relevant but its a 2017 34.2 Miramar

To kill the power at the batreries youll need to disconnect the positve cable running to the BIM, battery isolation manager. The bim is in the back of the battery compartment. If you dont the bim will draw power from your chassis battery and drain it.

It took several phone calls for me to get the proper correct info while installing my disconnect

Below is a pic of the bim from the manufacturers site and one of mine which is hard to see. To get to it with the batteries in place you have to crawl under the mh and acces from the rear
