Cut-off switch

Since the wiring is only good for 30A there is no need for a 500A switch. And the slides don't draw 100A. But here is what you can do. The power switches are on the positive side of the battery lead the may still be circuits that are "hot". The best way to overcome that is to simple re-wire the switch the cut the power on the grounf or negative lead. That way once activated there is NO power flowing in any circuit, which is really what you want. And a 30A switch from a auto supply store will work fine.

Happy camping.
