Thanks

We've discussed this issue in other threads
Obviously, in a covered storage lot your solar panels will not charge your batteries.
Many on this Forum have added a pure "battery disconnect switch".

Whether it's a Perko marine-type or a negative only disconnect on the battery post...
If your RV is just sitting without any external charge, you gotta find a way to completely disconnect your house battery bank.

Here's several ideas on Amazon:

Amazon Battery Disconnect

How long do you leave it in storage? We just hit the use/store switch and that works fine for us normally, but we use it at least once a month. In winter, which is our long 3 month down time, I run a heater with the generator once a month to exercise it and that charges them.
