Once again I just don't get it. :h I think a lot of folks are searching for a solution for which there is no known problem. :?
How can keeping your starting battery charged be a problem? Unless you have a failure of the engines charging system a starting battery can sit for weeks without losing its ability to start the engine. Drive a few miles and you are back to square one. Even if the starting battery did die, say you left your headlights on, most motorhomes come with an emergency start switch that allows you to tap into the house bank to boost the starting battery back into full operation.
With a Class C I don't see most folks sitting for extended periods of time (it's not the preferred coach of the snowbird crowd), even if you do, how hard is it to light off the engine once a week and just let it idle (and no I don't recommend this for diesels). I'm sure these are fine products and work as advertised but what/where is the problem they solve? :S
