We have experienced boiling the batteries in our 2001 Holiday Rambler TT by leaving it plugged in over the winter requiring us to replace both batteries. Our new (2012) Cyclone 3800 Toy Hauler has the so called "Smart Converter" Not wanting to take any unnecessary chances, we unplug from shore power when the coach is not in use and disconnect the batteries utilizing the factory installed disconnect switch. We spent 4 months in it last winter in Arizona with no issues. I do check the batteries monthly as part of the routine when I exercise the on board generator. Better to check often then to replace expensive batteries.
