Default Battery Disconnect Switch (2021-2025 Blazer)

I am interested to know if anybody has installed a manual battery disconnect switch on the negative side of the battery (newer Blazer model). There is not much extra space in this area and there are multiple connections to the negative terminal. I plan to flat tow our 2024 Blazer RS behind our motorhome and the Blazer manual states we must disconnect the negative terminal from the battery prior to towing. I would rather install a manual switch that I can use instead of taking the negative terminal off-and-on every day that I tow. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Did you find a solution? I have tried several different disconnects, but nothing fits. To complicate things, the negative terminal has 3 wires coming from it- one is the main body ground, and the other two, according to the dealer are a sensor that detects battery current. The dealer informed me that all of the wires on the terminal need to be disconnected for towing. They left no space around the battery box and the clearance under the hood is limited. I was considering trying this one from Amazon and putting it on the side of the battery box.

Any thoughts are appreciated.
