John,
  If you don't want to run more cables you can get a disconnect that 
goes in line with the factory battery terminal connection. It has a 
large thumbscrew that holds it together when your using the vehicle. 
They are available for both top and side terminal batteries.

If you want a fancy version you can use a heavy duty continuous current 
solenoid and a remote switch to activate it. That is how I have my 
vehicle set up. It allows you to run a separate lead to keep the clock 
and radio memory.

Your local NAPA carries the parts to do either way. They also carry the 
manual switch type that use a lever to shut off the battery.
