Leaving your coach plugged in will not hurt it
Yeah but in an enclosed storage building solar will not help.

Well I say it COULD HURT to leave it plugged it. Freaky things are always going on with RV's. This forum if full of them. I rather NOT worry about some surge frying something when im gone, Converter over charging my battieries, or fire etc.

I say plug it in for a day or two at a time every couple of weeks (in my case once a month with my AGM's).

But Everyone has their own opinion on this. So really no wrong answer.

If I had my own storge (at my house) I might leave it plug in 90% of the time with a fan going most of the summer time (or even with AC on once in a while).
