    It is very destructive to let your battery run down to zero volts.
    A battery cut off switch only costs about $15 and can save you time and money.
    Installing an RV Battery Cutoff Switch on a Coleman LT 17B.
    Needing a new battery can cost you $100s and be a terrible inconvenience on the road.
    It is also nice to have power in your unit if you need it, without needing to hooking it up.
    Amazon, has several to choose from.
    Over 95% of what we buy for the RV comes from Amazon. The other 5% is mostly Walmart.
    We are traveling in a one of a kind Coleman 17B. The 17B is the lowest priced RV in the market for its size. I tend to think of the 17B as a starter kit that owners can personalize to fit their own needs and tastes. Virtually every one is a “one of a kind” project. We have completed over 50 upgrades or modifications on ours.

      Thanks for telling us. That is why we do it. I think that having a battery cut off switch is very important.

    Appreciate the video good sir. Thanks for taking the time to put this video together. I am going to be doing this because the fridge in ours runs and i dont want it to kill the battery while we store it

      That is the same, main, reason we installed our switch. Even if I turned the fridge down all the way, it would drain the battery down to nothing in a day or two.

      Do you really leave the fridge running while storing your rig? Turn it off and prop the doors open to ventilate. That way you will save your expensive LPG, reduce the power loss from your battery, and prevent mold growth in the fridge.

    Great video, just got my 17b and this is one of the first things I want to do

      You won't regret it.
      Or rather, "If you don't get one, you will probably regret it."
      There are several other things you will probably like.
      We just went on a trip, last week with our new front scissor stabilizer jacks, for the first time. The difference was very noticeable.

    Can you put the details on the cut-off switch and cable and where purchased.

    • @funinourrv

      No problem. You are not the first person to ask. Amazon has several of them.
      I put the link in the description, but perhaps I will put it on the first line so people can more easily see it.

    Hi i have the same cut off switch and it tells me to add it to the N. I see you have added the switch to the P. I am fitting solar and i am fitting the cut off switch so i can work on the system later on.

    • @funinourrv
      @funinourrv  6 месяцев назад +1

      That is probably the way to go. If, or when, we go to solar, we will probably change that.

      If you look at Grainger and McMaster-Carr battery cut-off switches, they are all designed for the NEGATIVE polarity.

    What part number is that

    • @funinourrv
      @funinourrv  4 месяца назад

      I have no idea.
      Over 90% of what we buy for our RV comes from Amazon.
      If you go to Amazon and search "RV Battery disconnect switch" you will find dozens of choices. Most of them will be under $18 and look exactly the same.
      Thanks for your question.
