Battery in Michigan winter ?
Just picked up our new 5th wheel. Was wondering what to do with the battery for the winter? Should I remove the battery from the coach and keep inside till spring? Thanks for your responce

Why, Rock, if you can keep them charged? 85 percent charged freezes at minus 67 degrees F. See http://www.trojanbattery.com/pdf/WP_DeepCycleBatteryStorage_0512.pdf TRUST ME!
When I winterized, I started the MH every week and if no snow tried to drive it at least every two weeks. Not hooked up to any shower power. And I took the coach battery out.
I never used a trickle charger on it because previously on 2 occasions the trickle charger overheated the cords. IMHO after that for safety reasons I refuse to use them anymore......sadly they are all made in china and cheaply made now not at all like the ones back in the day.
