When shutting off all DC power in the coach. What is the proper sequence in you have solar panels.
Pull the solar fuse and then disconnect the batteries or
Disconnect the batteries then pull the solar fuse.

Or.
It makes no difference.

While I have done it both ways many time, with no negative effects, the"proper" way would pull the fuse first , then disconnect the battery. Depending on the solar controller, there could be a high voltage spike, if the battery is disconnected first, that could damage a voltage sensitive device.
Still, in many years of experience, I have never seen it happen.
