Battery Use

While at home I like to keep my trailer plugged in to electrical power. Is It okay to disconnect the battery?
  • Depends on the converter. My 2003 Thor Wanderer manual warned that hooking up shore power with no battery could easily damage control boards in fridge and water heater. Be careful.
  • Hi Jeff,

    If you have a modern 3 stage converter there is little need to disconnect the battery.
  • Best to leave it hooked up and charging and have it ready at all times.
