We've been full-timing for six months now. Have learned a ton about our coach, our lifestyle, and ourselves. We both still work full-time and have office space set up in the rig.
We're going to be heading back to Ohio for two to three three weeks over the holidays to visit with family and friends, take care of seeing our doctors, getting new glasses, etc., but are driving the toad and leaving the MH in warmer climes. And next spring we'll be flying to San Diego for a wedding and family reunion.
My question is, what to do with the coach when we're going to be away for an extended time? Do you just leave it in a campground plugged in? Seems there might be a more economical option. I've heard that long-term parking at airports is an option. But we want to make sure the reefer stays cold. How long will the house batteries keep our freezer frozen? (It has fan (fans?) behind it. House has a pair of six volt, deep cycle, 232 Ah batteries that were new January '15. Small solar panel charger on roof). Is it reasonable to expect them to keep the reefer going for three weeks? Or should we just leave the rig in a CG and plugged into shore power?
Thanks!
