Battery Storage between trips
I'm hoping that someone can tell me the best way to store batteries between trips. Do I take them out after every trip....or disconnect the batteries? 3-4 weeks at a time

Some may want to disconnect from the power grid to eliminate the risks of power failure, converter failure and voltage spikes from lightning.
yup and you may want to get a tinfoil hat also ;) seriously though if the power goes out you'll be aware and how would that be any different than turning off you battery switch, I have a 50 amp serge protecter on the plug in (yes i have a 50 amp plug in on my house) and lightnight, you can add protection to your breaker box for that. I check my 5th wheel and camper once a week so if the converter fails I'll find out..

That is why I said "some" so do whatever you want, just don't try to belittle others.
