Should I treat my Class A any differently than I did my 5er as far as battery disconnect/shore power between trips?
Our trips are usually 2 to six weeks apart. My routine with the 5er was that I'd switch off the batteries between trips and then about 4 days from departure I'd turn on the batteries and hook up the 120/15A (? plain old household outlet) and run the fridge until the morning we hit the road. This worked well for us -the fridge would be cold and the batteries charged when we hooked up.
This is our first MH and first RV with a generator, so I just want to be sure I'm doing things right (I'm still reading the encyclopedia of manuals that came with the Winnie).
Another question:
We had a good orientation but when the lady told me the coach 30A plug had to be plugged into the 30A female plug on the coach to run the AC, fridge, etc. with the generator -I get that- I should have asked her, does the coach have to be plugged into itself for the generator to charge the batteries?
Any helpful answers are appreciated. ~J
