With USE/STORE switch in Store there is still some parasitic drain on the house batteries. Battery power still goes to the CO detector and also the radio station selects and clock in the radio. You'll find you have to charge the batteries periodically by running the generator or connecting to shore power about every two months. I don't know if you have solar or not -- but you will not be able to go all winter in storage and expect the house batteries won't drain down.

I just had knife switches put on my house battery bank and also on the chassis battery. When I put my 2015 Vegas 24.1 in storage I'll open both knife switches. This guarantees that there will be no parasitic drain on any of the batteries. I'll still check their status throughout the winter but doubt I'll have to run the generator every two months to keep the batteries charged.
