Yes. Any shore power should be off AND unplugged. If you have an inverter turn it off. You can turn the salesman switch off, but not needed if all 12v appliances are off. If you have a battery disconnect switch near the battery turn it off. Also your chassis disconnect switch. It’s unlikely with everything off there could be a connection between the chassis and house batteries but just in case.
Then disconnect the ground/negative from the battery bank first. Then star disconnecting everything else.
