I've looked everywhere on this 96 Western Wilderness I just bought for a shut off. Is this something I might not have?

Very possible. You can buy battery disconnect switches at most RV supply or auto parts shops. They're very simple, don't cost too much and are not difficult to install.

Mine didn't have one.

I replaced the auto reset circuit breaker under the sink with a manual circuit breaker.

I wonder if I am doing something wrong? I take my negative cables off when I store the camper.

You're not doing anything wrong.

I have a battery disconnect - VERY inconveniently located near all the other switches - after reseting the clock on the stereo a couple of times I've got it firmly taped down with flourescent pink duct tape!!
