There is a down side. If you lose power to the RV, the batteries will drain. I keep mine on a separate charger/maintainer plugged in to an RV AC outlet with the battery switch set to OFF. If power fails the charger will just stop but the batteries are disconnected from the parasitic loads of the RV so no discharge. You can guess why I do this...yeah I had a power failure and the batteries drained.
I also have a Trik-L-Start for the chassis battery.
