How to store between trips

[camilllit]

I keep my new 2019 Cedar Creek inside a garage. I have some questions and please help me. I have the coach plugged into shore power. I have the battery disconnect switch OFF.

1. Are both batteries being charged with battery switch OFF?
2. Should I extend all 6 leveling rams down? I now only have front 2 rams down.
3. It has a 120 volt residential refrigerator installed. The power inverter is showing a green light. It is obviously being powered with the battery disconnect switch in the OFF position. Is this normal?
4. Should I keep refrigerator/freezer doors closed? My older rv unit I had doors propped open between uses. We have not used the refrigerator freezer yet, just bought it 1 week ago.
Thanks very much!

If level to begin with, then I could see just the front legs down. Here at the house all 6 are down and that's just because they have to, to make it level.

We have been told (by other CCRVOC members) to keep the back 4 rams up and only keep the front landing gear down.

What is the reason on keeping the back 4 rams up? If you were parked on a permanent site wouldn't you have it level all the time. ( all 6 legs down )

What am I not understanding?

You need to keep the battery disconnect ON...otherwise the batteries will not charge. The OEM converter is not a 3 stage converter, so if you keep it hooked to power a lot, you need to periodically check the batteries' water level. I plan (within a few years) on replacing my OEM converter with a PD converter w/charge wizard.

I wish I could store mine under cover!!

When not in use, as others have said, keep doors cracked open, otherwise a musty smell will develop.

Enjoy your Cedar Creek and consider joining the Cedar Creek RV Owners Club.

My inverter for fridge is powered up as soon as I plug shore power in. Even if inverter is turned off.
I leave mine plugged into shore power when at home with battery switch on. I turn fridge off and open doors. I can only leave the doors cracked open because I keep all slides closed.

IF the refrigerator is not running , by all means open the doors.

I would leave battery switch ON to keep batteries charged.
Refer should run on shore power when plugged in.
