The most weather resistant battery disconnect switch we offer is the Marine 2-Position Battery Switch part # 277-000403 which as the title states is a marine grade battery disconnect that holds an IP54 rating. That said, a battery disconnect switch is not designed to be mounted out in the open, subjected to water so you really need to find a way to mount the battery disconnect switch inside. The most common location is inside a battery box but I am not aware of one that will work on the outside of your trailer.
