Anyone keep their B plugged in for winter storage?

Wondering if this would be detrimental for anything in my '08 RT170 for the week to month long periods that I cannot drive due to inclement weather (road salt is my primary issue). I understand the batteries go on trickle charge like a battery tender, but would this damage or wear anything (inverter/charger/batteries) if done on a longer term basis like a month or so?

    Yes, we do keep it plugged in. The Alde heater in our Roadtrek is set to 55 to help keep it dry inside and not so warm as to encourage critters looking for a warmer place even though it is stored inside our large shop with critter traps and/or munchies for mice.

    We keep our's plugged in and keep a small electric heater set on low so the interior won't get too cold. Also keeps the fridge running. We just assume it's best to keep the interior temperature from getting too cold and/or hot. It's at home, and we drive it at least once a week as our second vehicle so it's convenient. Will be interested to hear what other's do.
