By the way all,
Conventional current flow is from the positive battery terminal through the circuit, and back via. wires or the frame to the negative battery terminal ground connection. The circuit is complete ONLY if this ground cable is connected to the negative post of the battery.

Installing the battery disconnect switch such that the negative battery terminal is disconnected is just as effective as installing it on the positive side. As a matter of fact, since I have 2 12 batteries - one for the coach and one for my boat, I typically move the negative cable back and forth (and keep both positives connected all the time) to alternately charge the batteries, and just leave the ground cable disconnected entirely when the coach is not used for more than several days.
