My motorhome is plugged in to shore power all the time at home. It has a multistage converter. Almost never have to add water to batteries. I see no need to remove batteries for storage. If you have access to shore power where your RV is stored. Use it. Then start generator and run under load monthly to keep it healthy.
You may need to add a trickle charger to keep chassis battery fully charged.
Pretty much the same drill for me. I also run the RV engine for 20 minutes every couple weeks when I'm exercising the generator. It's important that you have a multi-stage converter/charger to prevent over charging your batteries. Here's how to upgrade yours if you want. If you don't I would disconnect the house batteries and put a trickle charger on it until you need them.
