Chassis battery disconnect
I have a 2011 Jayco Greyhawk. Would it cause any damage to any electronics in the rig if I disconnected the the chassis battery when it is stored??

Just keep in mind that the battery connection cables remaining in the trailer will be HOT if you connect the trailer SHORE POWER cable to 120VAC or run from a generator without the batteries connected. Might be good idea to always wrap the HOT end in a plastic sandwich bag. If it shorts out on you you will have to locate some hidden fuses...
Also I would mark the HOT +12VDC connections with red tape or touch them up with RED fingernail polish. You do not want to connect them up in REVERSE ORDER as that also will blow fuses in your trailer.
I stated this with the trailer batteries in mind but same would go for the TRUCK Start battery. It is not that big of a problem with the truck start battery as they usually have a large and small size connector.
