Leaving rv plugged into 120v to run convertor
I leave my rv plugged into 120 v all the time that it's stored so that the Charge Wizard will maintain the charge on the house batteries. Is that not a good idea and am I wearing out the convertor?

Well, with my Parallax 7345, in the past, I only had the RV plugged into AC and the unit on, (with charge going to the battery), whenever we took it out, and usually a couple days prior, to get the fridge cold, etc.
From what some of you are saying, it sounds like that is the better way to go vs. leaving the RV plugged into AC and the Parallax always on the batteries.
But what I might do is when not using the RV, unhook the cables at the batteries and connect a Battery Minder, which from what I read, will do a great job of maintaining the batteries, and may even repair any damage sustained while the RV was in use (and the Parallax was handling the batteries). It may be a slight inconvenience to connect/disconnect each trip, but not too much of a hassle.
