That's advice I have never seen before... Since the converter shouldn't overcharge the batteries - I don't see a difference leaving the batteries connected to the coach (and charged/maintained) vs a separate maintainer.
3+ month stays in FL - I've always left the rig plugged in with batteries connected. And when the campground power goes out - almost everything keeps on running...
