When parked or stored for long periods say 2 or more weeks with no refer or anything running would you use the 'Store' Switch???? Would You leave the coach plugged in if shore power was available??

I use the store switch when put up for any long period. If i leave it plugged in here the mice use the cord for an entrance ramp. There are so mony little things that will drain batteries that the store switch is a good idea.

I leave it plugged in most of the time while storing. Used the Store switch last winter lost a cell in battery, frozed up, just now leave on and plugged in. To many drains off batteries when in store position.

I never use the store feature. I have too many gadgets to restart if I cut power. I just plug the coach into shore power when it is on its' pad, next to the house.

I agree with Gary, although lately I'd have to ask Jason what they do when they store the coach as I've not seen it what seems like weeks!!

Coach will be most likely be completed by the end of the week but my flight's not til the 23rd.....Jason said they'd keep her nice and warm inside until I get there.

I'll leave mine for 2-3 weeks in the store mode and return to find batteries fine 3/4 or more. I'll run her and genset for a while, so far no issues here in warm SoCal

It doesn't matter if I "store" or not, the batteries still drain. I'm switching storage places to one with electric, so I'll be plugging in this winter.
