Keeping Her Plugged In
Rookie RVer :C here! My question for this week......is it okay to leave motor home plugged in (30 amp) while parked in driveway for long periods of time? No plans of getting on the road any time ...

Mine has been plugged in and stored outside beside my house since October and will remain plugged in until my first road test (May) before a camping trip in the spring. Temps here were unusually cold in December (-30C/-22F) for a long time. Then had a thaw near end December to 12C/53F and I checked the batteries. Everything was fine. All appliances inside are turned of/winterized. Another thaw coming this weekend and I'll check everything again. Have done this will all my MHs with no issues.
As for power surges (we get a lot in our rural area) my surge protector takes care of them. As for cost, I'm guessing a very few dollars a month.
My previous MH did havev an issue and would not charge the chassis batteries when plugged in and after freezing them (and replacing) I put in a Amp -l-Charge. Solved the problem.
