stay pluged in or not

I don’t travel anymore and mine has been plugged in for four years and will remain that way. I still live in it full-time even though I am not traveling.

Mine is not plugged in. I maintain the battery bank, and starter battery via solar.

If you don't have solar, then get a dollar store timer and power the RV for one hour per day.

Unless we're traveling ours sits in the garage, plugged in, 24/7.

I use to swear by staying plugged in BUT I was always dealing with battery issues no matter how smart the inverter/charger thought it was(ie...over charging). Then one day, one of my 8D batteries exploded....what a mess, no damage but still quite a cleanup. I now use a battery tender and have so for roughly 5 years now and I couldnt be happier. Batteries, both house and chassis are always ready to go.

Only plugged in when in use or to charge batteries once a month. I don’t trust the converter to not over charge and boil batteries dry.

Bought trailer new in Oct 2013. Installed 1 24 series for generator starting and 2 series 29 batteries for house use. The trailer has been plugged in everyday since new unless camping without power ( probably 12 to 20 days per year). I check water in batteries once a year. All 3 still going strong. With todays technology, overcharged batteries should not be an issue.

We're fulltime RV'ers, and the only time we're not plugged in to shorepower is when we're underway between campsites. Even then we often have the generator running to power the A/C units and/or my wife's medical equipment. We used to boondock fairly often, but my wife's medical issues pretty much ended that except for one spot where we can keep the generator running 24/7 if needed without annoying anyone.

when i store it at home it's plugged in 24/7. when we're snowbirding jn AZ it's plugged in 24/7 for months. what's your issue, OP?

Always plugged in, and in summer frig running also 24/7.

I found that keeping my 50A plugged in all the time really drove up my electric costs... and I discovered that my solar was doing more than enough to keep things charged, so, unplugged... check things occasionally, of course, but now, at lower cost
