Starting RV while plugged in ?

So I want to be sure my engine battery is ok after sitting for days. Can I start the RV while plugged in or do I have to unplug everything then start engine ? Thank you ! Happy Thanksgiving everyone !

Yes you can start it up. Also you should have a switch to use RV batteries to start Engine if batteries die.
