Which neg.- black wire to disconnect??
Have a 2016 FC 28W. Batteries drain slow when in storage. Put a on /off switch in for the LP gas sensor. I think something else is drawing power when stored.
So I want to disconnect the black , neg - lead to the batteries.
There are two sets of red/black cables going to the batteries from the TT.
Which one do I disconnect or should I disconnect both neg - black leads ?

Both they are tied to a common ground point. If you only disconnect one the other battery is still in the circuit.
