Shore power at home/plugged in all the time?

My trailer has been plugged in for two years with no problems. Just check water in batteries about once a month until you know if your converter will overcharge them. I have to add water about once every 6 months.

I keep my hauler plugged in all the time at home. My neighbor just told me a tech at a RV dealer told him not to, but plug it in once a month for a week to charge the batts. Anyone know of any cons to leaving it plugged in all the time?

After a camping trip I let my batteries charge for a few days then I throw the breaker to the converter inside the camper so it does not charge anymore.
Then a day or so befor my next trip I turn it he converter back on to top off the batteries.

That way my fridge stays cold.

Neighbor is partially correct. If you have a 3 stage/multi-stage battery charger you're ok, but most RVs don't come with those. If you don't have one you can cook/boil your batteries. If you plan on using your RV while it's parked then upgrading to a 3/multi-stage charger may be a wise move. But before you do anything, find out what charger/converter you have.
