You may care to check out the AutoFuse by TowDaddy if you just need to pull a fuse vs killing the power lead. It is automatic when you hook into your tow lighting from your coach.

Yes, I use one and it is great. Though I think high in price for what it is.

When my toad was wired for towing, the dealer where I bought the coach installed a small box inside the back end cap and it says it is some kind of diodes to eliminate any drain on the toad battery. I have never had a battery go dead yet. But I am no electrician, so I am not sure what kind of diodes they are. I never have to pull any fuses on my Honda Pilot EXL.

In our case, a Saturn Outlook, it is not so much battery drain,which is a part, but also that bigger fact that without pulling a fuse it adds to the mileage of the Outlook as we tow it.
