To the OP
Think of this
Your camping at some campground, you got hookups you disconnect the battery
Your asleep and the power goes out, wind, car crash, thunder storm, doesn't matter, no power,
Well no battery means no fridge, no heater, no lights
You don't know it until you wake up
Then you have to go outside? And connect your battery
And any of these I always disconnect my battery people have been dann lucky if they have not run into this situation
Any extra battery life days/weeks I might gain by doing this are not worth, going out in the weather at 3am to hook them up
Or
In the middle of the afternoon either
The batteries are supposed to be connected, the batteries are your power, the converter is there to keep them charged, not substitute for the batteries
Good points Wizard, but losing lights and refrigerator is nothing compared to losing the Propane and Carbon Monoxide monitors. Those can kill you.
