New to RVing, wondering for long term parking is it ok to leave the land line plugged into our house for charging or should I only plug it in periodically to top up the batteries.
Interestingly, not one single person has offered the most important reason why leaving one's rig plugged in 24/7 may not be the best idea, and it has nothing to do with the battery or the converter - exposing your trailer's electrical system to the many anomalies present in any power grid system, whether actually camping or not. For several years now I've protected my own rigs with a surge protector / EMS, current one being a hard wire Progressive Industries EMS-HW30C, and I wouldn't ever consider leaving the trailer plugged in 24/7 without it standing guard. Your choice, but as Dirty Harry said - "Do I feel lucky? Well do you punk?" :W
