Do you leave your batteries in the RV?
Yes.
Do you run the converter all winter?
24x7x365, camper plugged in and let the on-board converter keep it charged. 2 years now and have not had to add a drop of water to the battery yet.
Do you leave the faucets open?
No.
Leave the low water drains open?
No.
Leave the grey/black waste gates opened or closed?
Closed (with a gallon or so of Pink Stuff in each tank to keep the valves from drying out. You also don't want critters crawling up your sewer drain pipes (bugs, flies, chipmonks, you name it, crawley things, birds)
Thanks
