how long let b sit before starting

Hi gerrym51,

I think that you may find obtaining an answer difficult. I would call the manufacturer of the Van, but even then good luck.

I have an 05 Chevrolet Express Van and can go a month and do, no problem. But those with about 08-10, no way. A few days or a week at most.

My guess is that you would probably have to just find out. IF you really like this RV, buy it and find out. If a short time, use a trickle charger. If no 110v A/C to do this, you must find out before purchase.

Good luck obtaining a definitive answer.

I have an old Chevrolet van I have used for years as a camper. I park it in November (outside in Minnesota), remove the battery (or use a trickle charger) and don't start it again until April. That has work for 20 years. I do the same thing with my newer Dodge based B and again, I have had no issue getting either running in the spring. Be sure the tires are aired up in the fall and be sure to check them again in the spring. Park on a solid surface (not grass). I always change the engine oil in the fall before storing and obviously you want to have the RV well winterized before putting it to bed for the winter. I used to always fret about leaving the vehicle(s) sit all winter, but experience has taught me that fretting over this is a waste of energy.

I,d disconnect one battery cable. with both hooked up ,it will run the battery down.

When we go away for a few months our car always starts when we get home. A battery will last a long time if there is no drain on it.
