Battery Disconnect?
On reading info. on battery disconnect, it says to disconnect battery if it will be on converter power for extended time.Anyone do this? Mine stays on shore power/ converter power for months. Am I ruining my batteries?

- Depends on the type of converter you have...
If it has a "maintain" or "float" stage then it does not need to be disconnected.
This "float" stage will maintain you batteries at full charge without "boiling" them or damaging them. - If your 2002 trailer does not have the smart mode converter/charger chances are you may be boiling out your battery fluids over time. They don't do well with a constant 13.6VDC voltage on them for long periods of time.
If you leave it connected just be sure to keep a close check on the battery fluids...
