New Class C owner, wondering about winter storage, the 2019 Thor 23U is currently at dealership for several items that weren’t right when we picked it up. Hopefully the extended warranty we purchased when we bought it will cover repair all of the list. While it’s there they are winterizng the rig. I will do it myself in the future but since it was there I opted to make sure everything’s done right.
We haven’t decided if we will pay to have it stored inside this year or just put a cover on it and store it outside by my storage building. Next year there will be room inside our shed for it.
My question is, is it ok / desirable to leave it plugged in all winter, I currently only have 20 amp shore power available, next year this will also be changed.
We live in West Central Mn and it can get cold here, so Im wondering if it will keep the coach batteries charged and not damage anything by keeping it plugged in?
I plan to have a flow charger on the chassis battery to keep that from freezing.
I store our boat, motorcycles, and other equipment all flow chargers running through out the winter.
I’ve also read here that it’s a good practice at least once a month to run the generator which will be easier to do if I keep it outside by my storage building.
I don’t like having to store it outside this winter, but I see lots of RVs parked often with snow covered roofs outside in yards around here, but at least ours will be covered, and I’ll try to keep the snow off.
Thanks for any comments and or suggestions for other things to do for winter storage.
