Default Re: Can I shut off the entire electrical with the key?

Simple solution is to add a fuse block and pull the fuse when you get to where you want to go or put away. Add a tie-wrap around the fuse to make it easier to remove. You will have no power from the battery to anything in the vehicle. It is easier than some of the other solutions proposed. The full cut off switch is the best as the starter will not be powered. You also mentioned the battery runs down. If you have an alternator then the field is always energized unless you have a cut off switch or pull the fuse. If you have a generator then check it the cut out is not shorted.
