I haven't tried this but that should break all the 12V stuff supplied by the WFCO. The only thing not covered would be the powered hitch thingy, which takes off directly from the battery, just after the battery fuse.
Also, most people recommend replacing the original battery fuse with something more reliable. Maybe replacing it with a switch-type circuit breaker mounted in the plywood panel under the seat would give you easy access?

It's best to locate the fuse right at the battery (inside the battery box if possible). The purpose of the fuse is to prevent the raw power feed wire from shorting out anywhere past the battery. If you locate a breaker or fuse inside the trailer, the unprotected wire has to run some distance with no protection. If the wire were to chafe through somewhere, you could have a fire.
