Motor Home

Bought a Class A Diesel Motor Home this year (Our first) and we are parked at a RV Park for the winter. The question I have, can I run the engine while side outs are out, hooked up to 50amp power, levelers down?
I am sure the air bags will inflate, will that hurt anything?
Class A

    They may look OK but clean them anyway. A friend of mine was at his wits end telling me of an intermittent problem with starting his van. He was ready to replace an expensive battery harness, i asked him how long had it been since he cleaned the battery cables. His reply was 2 years ago when he replaced the battery but the terminal looked ok. I said to clean them anyway. He did and that was over a month ago and no more problem.

    Someone turn off the batter switch by door?
    Converter would get 110 from gen. And be able to power 12 v system.
    Gen stops no 110 converter makes no 12 volts.
