Just remembered another bunch of questions.. Where do we keep the RV when we're not using it? We don't have the space at the house (teeny driveway, teeny back yard), so I was assuming we would have to find a camp ground or something like that where we can park it when we don't use it, for a (hopefully) small fee?
I read somewhere that you should keep it plugged in so the batteries don't die, but if it's parked at a park for a couple months on end, I can't really have it plugged in, or do parks offer that? .. would a solar panel be needed for that so it's always charging up the batteries a little each day if we're not there? If so, how much would something like that cost?
And we probably won't be using it at all in the winter months, we sometimes get a lot of snow here and we hate snow. Would I have to drive to wherever it's parked and shovel the roof? Like could all that extra snow weight cave in it? And do you have to keep the little roof vents open all the time so it can air out?
And I'm assuming, if it's parked for a few months or all winter long, would we have to empty out all tanks (fresh/gray/black water)?
