The "store/use" switch does not/will not totally disconnect your house batteries, the CO/LP detector, digital clocks & motors to electric slides to name a few items are not disconnected through that switch & the batteries WILL be dead in a matter of days not weeks. The only total disconnect is to disconnect the negative cable that goes directly to ground or put a manual disconnect on that cable.
Repeated total discharge of the batteries severely shorten their lifespan, so either leave it plugged to shore power with the switch to "use" or disconnect the cables if stored for extended periods.
