Land line charging...how long?

I have put a timer in the line so that the juice comes on for a short period each day. currently have a marine multi level charger hooked directly to battery and the RV is not plugged in at all.

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.

It depends, tell us the brand and model of converter (charger) in the RV.

Your opinion notwithstanding, batteries age MUCH faster when allowed to sit in a discharged state....even partially.

IF you have a good converter/charger, it is MUCH better to keep it plugged in.

If you have a cheap one stage C/C, then get a small automatic tender type charger and keep IT connected during storage instead.

Or plug it in for 12 hours or so every month.

Of course if the batteries have caps, check the electrolyte level once a month.

Turn off the coach batteries and check periodically. Then power up a few days prior to usesge. Can't see keeping it plugged in all the time.IMO.

If you want to use any 120 volt items like A/C, microwave, etc. you will need to plugged into shore power.

I keep our Southwind plugged into shore power 24/7 when it is parked.
Just check the water level in your batteries.
