Leaving the fifth wheel plugged in

I turn the kill switch off but still have a maintainer on the batteries. I have 30 amp available if I need it.

Ok but if you turn the kill switch off, the batteries won't run down will they? Thank you all for your answers.

Mine is at my house and plugged in. During the season I keep a/c set to 90, refer on with groceries in it and I am constantly in it tinkering, snoozing, boozing or what ever else I may find to do in it.

Mine goes to the farm in October and is set up as hunting camp, where it also stays plugged in and heated to 40* with refer and groceries till the 1st of the year.

It then comes home and is completely winterized and shut down...yet still plugged in.

Ours is in a storage lot, so keeping it plugged in is not in the question but we do have a solar battery charger hooked up to keep the battery up. Good Luck and Happy Camping !!

I do disconnect the battery and keep a battery tender on it.

Same here except I don't have a 30 amp plug where I store it.

Mines plugged in 24/7/365 unless I forget for a day after returning home from a trip. Never had any battery issues.

Ours is left plugged in all summer long. Keeps the batteries up and the fridge cold. It's always ready for a last minute change of plans to get out of town. I sometimes go out there to watch tv or tinker with something.

So your batteries don’t run all the way down.

As noted, it keeps the batteries charged. For us, we have solar and when it's sunny on a regular basis, we unplug it.
