Any problem with battery kill switch Discovery 2
I have a 2002 Land Rover Discovery 2. I tow it behind my motorhome. No problem with towing. I'm airways concerned that my battery is going to die because I have to leave the key turned to the first stop. I use magnetic mount lights. I simply stick then to the roof. My question is; are there any issues/concerns if I were to install a battery kill switch to simply turn off the power while towing the Disco would that cause problems that I might not expect?
I know this will erase the radio presets, but I don't care about those.
I've heard of issues with alarm reboot lockout issues if the hood is open (or something like that) so I can install the switch near the bumper where it is accessible without lifting the hood.
I thought about running a charge line from the motorhome but thought that the kill switch might be simplest.
Thoughts?

Don't know? Remembered seeing a couple of warnings in the OM. Would assume 0 vdc render same results.

DO NOT attempt to tow the vehicle unless the
starter switch is turned to position ‘II’. If the
vehicle is towed with the starter switch in
position ‘I’, an inconsistency in the recorded
vehicle mileage will occur. This must then be
rectified by a Land Rover dealer.
