Leaving unit plugged in 24/7

[Redrker5150]

Who leaves their unit plugged in 24/7. Just bought a new 2017 Montana, 3rd 5th wheel, 5th Rv. I have a 30amp pole at my home that I leave my unit plugged into all the time. Ive done this with all my units for 30yrs with no problems. In fact I prefer to leave it plugged in even in the winter. My new Montana's converter fan runs continuously even with nothing on. No load! I called the dealer to schedule a repair and they acted like I am the only person they have ever heard of that leaves it plugged in. For starters its a Montana! Its a full time living coach! Its meant to be plugged in all the time. The dealer then told me while its not being used to unplug and turn the battery disconnect off. I disagree and will get my converter fan problem repaired under warranty, but was just wondering how many other people out their do the same thing? In the summer time I even keep the fridge on with condiments, ice and beer.

I am plugged in 24/7, except during Winter months. Most newer RVs have some parasitic drain, even with OEM shutoff. If you did not plug in, or disconnect at the battery, it/they would discharge over extended period.

My converter keeps a float charge at 13.2, and if fan runs, I have not heard it. If your fan runs all the time, I'd suspect something is not right.

Our 94 Southwind is plugged in 24/7 when not being used. I just check the batteries every month or so. Also keep refrigerator on except when defrosting freezer. Did the same with our previous Pace Arrow.

I have a 2012 plugged in 24/7/365. The only time it's not plugged in is when I'm going down the road. My last rigged was plugged in 24/7 also. No issues

on my motorhomes I had a timer on the circuit so only went on an hour a day or so to keep charged,etc. On my TT I just hooked a multistage marine charger/maintainer directly to the battery so nothing in unit is energized.
