That advice varies among folks from, once a month to once a year. Some very knowledgeable folks will even tell you that they have never equalized their batteries.
With well maintained batteries (and your Magnum is very good at that), I would only equalize when it appears that the batteries are not holding a charge as well as they did when new.
Long periods in storage with just a "float" level of charge on the batteries could make the procedure more important. If stored more than six months with shore power ON, I would equalize when removing from storage.
If the coach is used frequently, bouncing down the road with a voltage of 13-14V, from the engine alternator, is the best equalization procedure you can use. YMMV
