Same here. We used it one time between the time we bought it and the time we drove from CA to ME. It sat for at least 2 1/2 months between the time of that single use and the time we drove to the East Coast.

Right now the unit is sitting in our driveway and I can keep it plugged in for the house batteries. We're on a waiting list for a storage lot within 3 miles of home. That would mean a complete disconnect from 120VAC and I'm looking at solar chargers for the chassis battery.

I have a workaround while the Vegas is sitting in the driveway. The generator really should be run every now and then. Leave it for much more than a week and it takes quite a bit of cranking to start. Every 2-3 days, I'm going to run a battery charger off an extension cord plugged into one of the outside outlets. It's not elegant, but it does kill 2 birds with one stone in that it will keep the chassis battery from dying as well as keeping the generator limber.
