Storing Coach plugged in or ??

[speedjester]

Wondering if there is any benefit to storing coach plugged into 50 amp service vs 30 or 15 amp ??

I keep mine plugged into 30 amp in my garage. Don't have 50 available. Not running anything, so don't know why 15 amp wouldn't work.

When I store my Georgetown locally I do not plug it in.
I turn off my master power switch to the house batteries.
I have done this for up to 3 months and haven't had any issues.

Question.
Why do you think you must have it plugged in?
The only things that run is the Propane detector and the propane solenoid.

I read that it was a good idea to leave them plugged in... I have a 50 amp and 15amp service installed on the side of my garage.. Want to keep battery charged... But also am concerned about leaving it plugged in 24/7 so close to the house in case of fire...

Thoughts?

we have had ours plugged in from when we bought it in May - we store our MH in a covered garage at a storage location with 15a service - we keep it plugged in so we don't have to empty the fridge/freezer (we have the residential fridge)

Once it is wintertime and we aren't camping as frequently, we'll probably unplug and empty the fridge.

We had some initial issues with the GCFI tripping randomly at the storage location - but that's been fixed now (they replaced the GCFI and it hasn't done it once since) We do also have an old android cell phone plugged into the outlet, and when the power goes out or comes back on, it sends me a text message. Which is handy.

I'm sure it's safe to leave it plugged in .. But like to hear what most owners do ..
