Default Wiring two 6V batteries in series when you have solar panel

Hi All

I have been reading old threads and I have downloaded Bill's diagram on battery set up. I hate working with electrical anything. I need to replace my batteries and I would like information on several things.

I have attached a PDF with pictures of my current set up. (Camper is not open right now, took these last year). My batteries are in the storage compartment under the back bed.

1. How is wiring different when you have a solar panel in addition to two 6V batteries in series? Can someone update Bill's diagram to include solar?

2. How do I turn off the solar power when swapping out batteries? (I'm assuming that would still send electricity thru and could zap me if I don't shut it off before swapping out batteries.)

3. How do I add a cut off switch into this equation? Can someone add this to the diagram? Suggestions for a good cutoff switch?


Thanks in advance.
