When not in use ... charge batteries or not?

<Thor Hurricane 29M>

Have had our rig for about two months and have a charging question.

We use our rig about one weekend a month (not including periodic longer trips).

I have installed a full kill switch on the battery (but not using it) and have been keeping the rig plugged into a 20amp power plug continuously.

Question is, should I keep it plugged in when not in use (to keep the batteries topped up) or keep it unplugged and use the kill switch on the battery until the next trip (and only plug in if a charge is needed)

It's certainly a convenience to have lights and basic power when doing a project or to keep a fridge cold but want the best decision for longer battery life.

Thanks for your input.
