yes i fitted one in the battery box,it is not hard to do and cost about £5 for the switch.i fitted one because of the mover switch that had been placed under a seat!!!!!.buy some battery jump leads to obtain the thickness cable required and some large eye connectors and a connector crimper.only a heavy duty switch will do.your 12V RED lead from the fuse box goes to one side of the switch and a new RED 12V lead goes to the battery positive.check your alarm does not need a supply from the battery. www.ukcampsite.co.uk/redirect.asp?redir=http://www.towsure.com

Battery Isolator Switch (Removable Key) B111 Safety device used in boats and caravans, isolates the battery in case of short circuit. A heavy duty switch shuts the power off immediately.

excellent idea where do you get the isolators from ???????????

Hi,

If you position the CAR VAN rocker switch at the mid point (ie off) you may resolve the problem. In the other positions there is a relay engaged which will drain the battery in a couple of months. (It can be heard clicking in and out)

as an alternative you could fit quick release clamps on the battery as you only remove the black/blue cable but do not let it touch the body of the van.only takes seconds to fit once the clamps are added.
