Battery DIsconnect ??
Just wondering if it's a good idea(or recommended) to flip our battery disconnect switches when at a RV Park for a long stretch(3 months). Shore power is connected to 50amp...Any reason not to discon...

The major reason for me when parked is to keep my battery bank charged up all the time. If flipping the DISCONNECT switch prevents the on-board converter/charger from charging the batteries then I would not do this in my case...
I have always thought the battery load for the on-board converter/charger units is very helpful for the converter/charger DC output regulation.
Some of the older RV UNITS actually had a battery check circuit and will shut down the on-board converter/charger if the battery has failed.
Of course the newer converter/charger units are better built and does not need the battery load to insure proper DC regulation but having a constant battery load is not going to hurt things.
