My experience has been different...
My 2000 Infinity had a chassis and coach disconnects - and when disconnected - everything was off...
Made it 3 months plus thru Michigan winters without needing a charge (changed oil before storage - did stop in as snow allowed to check voltage - never started or charged in that time.)

My 2014 Hurricane only has the coach battery disconnect.. Again has sat multiple months (spring/fall as we now head south for winter) with no issues for either battery...
(Except for once in my driveway when I had the coach switch set to 'use' without shore power for over a week - but my own fault there.... it did exactly what I told it to.)

Obviously something to check and understand how each unit behaves... I certainly expect 'disconnect' means everything - and would find/address anything that behaved differently
