Save the Electrons
Absolutely the worst photo of the propane detector I could have taken. That isn't the important part of this post. It seems this thing was slowly draining the battery when the RV was in storage for extended periods. We decided to get a switch to put in line so we could secure that power when we stored the RV. This seemed a simple fix. Splice in a switch and that would be it. We picked up a switch and these connectors. Since there wasn't much slack in the wiring, we ended up needing another connector and a jumper, but that isn't really important to the job at hand. A quick hole drilled in the front of the bench seat to put the switch through, some stripping and connecting of wires, and we were in business. The switch is pretty low profile, so it shouldn't get snagged on a pant-leg, or worse, a leg. Now, we can turn it off easily so it won't drain the battery.
