I swear solar does a better job of charging and floating batteries than I can, manually. SG measurements are always spot on. Besides, I hate lugging batteries around.

I did remove some snow from directly under the module's lower edge, once. That was a period of lots of wet snow that froze on the roof before melting.
If concerned about winter in Michigan your solar will be covered in snow. I'd take the batteries out. Store at home on a battery tender.

Running the engine once a month does more harm than good unless the rig is driven for at least 30 minutes.

If I run gen and motor once a month will that charge both chassis and house batteries? When not running I would use a battery disconnect for house batteries.

Yep, they'll keep it charged. But a battery disconnect switch is much less money.
