What is the prevailing wisdom of leaving the RV hooked to shorepower while it is in storage?
I have a Fleetwood Southwind 32V with Workhorse 8.1 chassis. I have owned it for 1-1/4 years. This summer, after an extended trip, I came home and parked it by the house but did not plug it in to the house current as I had always done previously. I periodically (like every 2-3 weeks) will go out and fire up the engine and the generator and simply let them run for a half hour or so.
Well, a week or so ago I went out to move the RV and when it started, it REALLY sounded like the battery was almost dead, just turning over the engine enough to get it started that time. When I put it back in the storage spot, I plugged it in to the house current. Yesterday I did the same and all seemed o.k.
Comments? Suggestions?
Thanks.
