Is there an easy way to disconnect the 12V connection to the refrigerator and maybe the whole 12V system? Like just pulling a plug line? On my Westy there are three connections to the positive terminal. One is very thick and the obvious lead, one is fairly thick and red and then there are two thinner red wires sharing the same attachment . If I disconnect one of these will it break the cooler circuit? I am having a problem keeping the battery charged. I charge it up overnight and it will start but if it sits more than one day it will not start. The battery is fairly new (1999). The connections look good, the ground line was retightned, the started replaced with a known working unit. But there is something draining power or the battery is bad in that it will not hold a charge. Any suggestions? This all started a week ago after our first camping trip so maybe there is a connection to the 12V system.
