Battery Disconnect

[jsmith948]

Recently purchased Cougar 282 RES.
With sore power disconnected and battery switch off, the flood light and sliders and awning are still powered.
Is out trailer wired wrong?

I'm not sure about the flood light, but the battery feeds the slides directly through resettable circuit breakers to the wall opating switches.

Thanks for the rapid reply
I am coming to the conclusion that the disconnect only serves to prevent battery drain from interior lights inadvertently left on and the various sensors from draining the battery during extended periods when the trailer is parked.

The only things that are going to be a constant drain is going to be sensors and devices with electronic memory(stereo, etc). Otherwise, your batteries are not going to drain any faster connected or disconnected.
