Living in the SW I use my camper all year long...although its rained three days straight in "Lost Wages" while dumping 20 plus inches of snow on Mt Charleston. Anyway....
During times the campers not loaded for a camping excursion it sits on my homemade camper jacks plugged into shore power.
The question I always contemplate is, "do I leave shore power connected to trickle charge the batteries or leave shore power disconnected and turn the battery disconnect off until prepping for the next trip?
What do you all do?
I don't plug it into shore power, I put the AMG battery on a battery tender and put a couple of cap fulls of bleach in the fresh water tank to keep back mold or algae. During the winter I use one of the oil filled heaters set to 55 degrees to keep the interior up to snuff. I the summer in in a 3 sided garage so I don't need to run the A/C. You can see in my signature.
