Hello Gerald,

Thank you for contacting us.

Yes you can leave the RV plugged in all of the time. This will keep the batteries at a good charge during the off-season. Starting the engine and generator is good practice too. It is more important to do this with gas generators but it doesn’t hurt to do it for diesel systems either.

If you have any other questions, please chat, email, or call Customer Service. 

Sincerely,

Can I let the shore power on all the time? Should I start the diesel engine for 1 hour every month and the diesel generator for 30 minutes every month. I’m 79 years old and I can’t take the batteries out for storage indoors.

Recently we turned it on due to the temp and my wife immediately identified a smell as that of a dead mouse. What now?

Hello Customer,

Thank you for contacting us.

It won’t do any harm. There are many RV’s plugged in all year round from people living in it. I would just make sure to tape off the battery terminals since there will be voltage going to them when plugged into shore power. Just to be safe, I would wrap tape around the ends. Other than that it is fine to leave it plugged in to operate things in the outlets.

Question is it harmful to leave the camper plugged into shore power for winter storage? I have rodent devices plugged in that require ac to work, but that is all. Don’t really need them if it is doing harm to the converter or power systems.
