My wife and I just purchased a new 3124KB last week and are so excited to get started with the camping season. Our new TM came from the dealer with dual 6v batteries and the 80w solar panel for charging. This weekend we set it up in the driveway and spent some time organizing our gear to make it easier for when we were ready for our shakedown trip. We are now ready to store it for the next month until we have a free weekend to take our first trip, but we are wondering what the best way to disconnect the dual battery setup is? Will disconnecting one side of the middle wire that connects the two batteries serve our purpose, or should we disconnect the positive and negative leads on the edge of each battery? I would like to eventually install a switch to allow us to kill power to the battery, but I don't have the time to work on it before we need to store it offsite. How have you gone about disconnecting the batteries on your dual 6v setups prior to installing kill switches? Also, will the solar panel keep the batteries charged with enough juice to let it sit for the month without disconnecting? My warmest regards and thank you to everyone in advance for any advice you wish to share.

Just remove the positive wire coming from the TM.
If the camper is outside, the solar panel will be more than enough to keep the battery fully charged when not in use.
