Shore charging

I'll be storing my RV at home now, the storage facility we used is doing away with their outdoor storage. Over the years I typically would bring it home and charge it once a month for a day or so. Now that it's home I'm wondering if I can just leave it plugged into shore power 24/7 until we use it, or should I unplug and charge every other week or so?

Thanks

Depends on how good your charger is and so that it won't ever overcharge the batteries.
We have ours plugged in at all times while at home in the driveway. The batteries are AGM so no water to boil out. The fridge and ac's are on as well and even though set pretty high. the ac's still run plenty enough in this heat.

Assuming you have a smart three stage charger you'll be fine 24/7.
