Trouble locating the battery disconnect switch
I am in the process of storing the camper (just a few days for now). It will be indoors, so would like to use the battery disconnect. Any idea where it is located on a 5.0?
I looked under the passenger side seat where the inverter is but I either don’t know what I am looking for or it is located somewhere else.
Any advice or picture would be very helpful!

You would do well to consider replacing it with a rotary switch. Trust me, It WILL fail!
Let me add a caveat, Mine is a 2019. ETI might have upgraded the switch

In late 2019 they upgraded to a much better switch at the same time they moved it to under the dinette bench.

I did not take the picture but in 2021 with U-shaped dinette, I looked at the passenger side is inverter, the driver side is some water pump setup that I don't really understand, and finally - underneath the rear side seats we have the battery disconnect switch. It had a good size label on it that even I could read It's a bit of a pain to get to a lot of cushions need to come off but that's what it is.
Many thanks!

If you think that’s a pain, mine is under the large dinette on the passenger side next to the inverter, and of course I have my large dinette made into a bed which I keep there permanently, so I have to remove the some items that are stored under there in order to crawl under and reach and flip the switch as needed. Fortunately, I am small enough that I can wiggle under there.

Thank you! It wasn’t too bad. We have the Lagun table mount and that does make things easier in this regard. I just panicked as I was dropping it off for indoor parking and wanted to turn it off before storage.
