More Storage Questions

New to the class A community. We've learned a lot from this forum.

We have a 35f model Adventurer. When storing your coach do you:

Keep it plugged in to power?
Inverter on or off?
Leveling Jack's up or down?
Slides in or out?
Fridge on or off

It reads as if you have power available so heres what I do not saying its correct but.

Mine is plugged in all the time when at home

Invertor off

Jacks are up

Slides are in for the most part. When packing for trip or cleaning I will lower the jacks and open the slides.

Fridge on once dewinterized fridge is on all the time until winterizing is done

Good Luck Safe travels

Thanks, BH!
We appreciate the information. We're veteran rv'ers but never had a coach or slides, auto levels or residential fridge.

I store mine with no power, slides in, jacks up, inverter off, chassis power disconnect off and house power disconnect off.

I check on my RV every 30-days. I run the engine and start the generator. I then run the A/C or heat pump for 15 to 20 mins. I usually move it a little as well to keep the tires from flat spotting, reparking in a slightly different place.

Creative, thanks for the input. So, total power down for you. Do you have any problems with the chassis or house batteries keeping a charge? I totally agree with the start up procedure that you use, the suggestion on moving the coach to prevent tire flat spots is appreciated. I hadn't thought of that before.
I have tire and mirror covers and a Magna Shade windshield screen to help protect the coach in the SC summer heat. We're looking at covers also. The area we live in is called Forest Lakes. Lots of mature trees, mostly pine. Between the birds and the pine needles I need to be aggressive in keeping everything clean and protected. Any ideas there?
Thanks again for your response.

I have 300w of solar and when we parked in uncovered storage I always found the batteries at 100% state of charge (we have a shunt battery monitor) when I visited the RV in Storage.

Then this past year I moved to open but covered storage. I get a very little charging now and in a month my state of charge will drop 20% to 25% - i.e. 75% remaining state of charge. Since I use the RV frequently, and check it religiously it's not been a problem at all.

Choices

I always use jacks down because I park on an unleveled spot and I want the pressure off the tires in storage. Power is off. Slides are in.
I do start engine once a month as well as generator.
Been working great this way for 5 years. Does help keep the tire pressure from falling too much.
