    All the fire trucks and ambo here have the big red twist knob usally by the seat to kill all power from the batteries every time the driver parks back at the firehouse so there are no surprises when needed

    My solar panels stay on all the time which charges my house batteries in the shelter and those 12v batteries feed the 2 12v batteries on the truck and like you said for some reason that keeps the 2 24v batteries hot in the truck batteries

    Just a quick couple of questions about the truck ! Do you have any kind of security/ camera system in your back yard? Or any big mean dogs? or you have guns in the house ? I wouldnt want to travel that far to get all skint up trying to relocate your truck when your done with it!
