I plan on installing a battery disconnect switch on our bc this spring when i bring it out of storage.
Rv battery disconnect switch positive or negative side.
My first inclination was to put the switch on the negative leg of the circuit.
As i was considering this it came to mind that somewhere i had read and or heard that the switch in this type of circuit should be on the positive side.
To provide more specific troubleshooting information we need to know the make model and year of your rv.
The negative cable connects to the body ground already so there s no additional danger if it rubs.
Does it make a difference.
It s the same principle as why you should always disconnect the battery s negative side first.

Better quality ones have built in terminals for the alternator wire that are separate from the battery cable terminals.
When the switch is off the alternator is de energized too.
Typically the battery disconnect switch is designed to disconnect the house batteries similar to pulling the negative cable off the battery so nothing can drain it when the unit is not in use or in storage.
Marine battery disconnect switches are intended for the positive side.
