Hi Regina; This whole thread may be moot if there is no valid reason to keep shore power 24/7 throughout the winter months. Middle Georgia does not get subfreezing temps that often or for very long duration. Would keeping the coach temp at a modest setting prevent freezing of any component below the coach? I wouldn't think so and, if not, what's the point of shore power 24/7? I would stil need to winterize as if it were disconnected.

You got it right. It has no point except some people feel better for some reason.. Shut it all down and unhook the batterys both coach and truck. Leaving them hooked will leave some things running.. Then check and charge once a month or so..

Hi,

It is about the battery bank. Personally I'd fully charge them and then disconnect. Where I live it gets to -40. I winterize 5 to 7 times per year.

Hi cycletwo,

Strictly speaking a converter is an inverter--but in RV land is always called a converter. When you call, get the make and model of the converter.

There are some inverter/chargers out there.

I have no idea if it is a 3-stage converter or not. Guess I have to call Jayco again. Is a converter the same thing as an inverter?

Hi,

Is it a three stage converter? If it is, then it may be safe to leave it plugged in 24/7. If not, it may, over time, ruin the "house" batteries.

Pianotuna: I just learned I have a 60 amp battery converter. Is that sufficient to run shore power 24/7 or is that even recommended?

Thanks for the location of my battery disconnect switch. Sure glad it was not a poisonous snake!!

We took it for a ride to town today. We try to exercise it at least once a week or so. Also added the finished curtains and made the bed. :) The tires are real bad and need replacement so that will be the next big thing done to it.

Found a fuel leak replaced 2 lines and changed oil to mobile 1 synthetic
