I have my Fleetwood Tioga class C in my garage for the winter. Is it OK to leave it plugged into shore power for long periods? Is it hard on the batteries and power converter to be charging all the time?
Interesting read from my perspective. Which is?I have my motor home 10 feet from my back door and don't own a charger at all. We are brand new to this adventure. We are 5 months into a very long journey we hope.
My question to the board is Do I really even need one?
My Rig is 2017, It has Factory everything so I already have decided when that time comes I am going AGM batts. I am going thru the, ?Fill the battery cells Adventure / Possible Mis-Adventure,? with each and every lovely cell on my batts during my PMCS, when filling my cells with distilled water.
Our reality is, We go out for a week to three and come home. When I am home I based that as Day # 0 on a 30 day count down to the day I exercise my gen set under load.
My rig has currently a 100w panel ZAMP, upgradable to 510w max, 3 panel input solar installed on the roof.
I only have 2 coach batts, Marine deep cycle 31, I think?
We currently like to stay full hook up, so with Distilled water refilling and 100 watt providing a trickle charge, so far so go. I want AGM but want to get all the good out of what is currently taking us to the dance. For a lack of better terms.
Opinion, anyone?
