hook to shore power
Is it ok to stay hookup to shore power during winter? Will it cause problems with the Batt or not? Also when hook to shore power there is a buzz under the bed. I assume itis the inverter or converter....

I guess some converters are better than others. I have had them cook batteries in the past, so I prefer to not leave the coach plugged in and use a trickle charger on the batteries instead. Of course, it doesn't freeze where I am....
The easy way out is leave the coach plugged in but turn the battery switch off so it's not charging from the converter. Now plug in a good battery maintainer that is designed to be left attached to the battery (you can put one on the chassis battery too) and plug them in you can use the RV outlets if you want). Now you will have proper battery maintenance and if the AC power fails you won't drain the battery either from parasitic loads.
