If you use a chassis battery disconnect, you'll force the PCM to re-learn your driving every time you use the RV. Not to say that's prohibitive, just that about the time it gets to know you it'll forget you.
I shouldn't claim this, but I just don't have battery problems. I can go two months (Florida weather) and the house battery (which I do disconnect with the shutoff Jayco provided) will start the genset. The chassis battery (11 years old!) will start the road engine. Can't say I know where the power comes from the radio... It's aftermarket, and will always play when the engine's running, even if house battery is OFF. Engine off, it'll play if the house battery is ON. In any event, the batteries hold up.
The electric steps drain the chassis battery in our Jayco down to the 50% level in about 1 month. So I disconnect the battery each time we are not using it for a while. Have not noticed any driveability issues each time the the ECM has to retrain after reconnection of the battery and driving for the next trip.
