I now am able to keep my moho indoors. Are there pros and cons to keeping it plugged in all the time? We use the moho just about every other weekend so it never sits for long. What if I plug it in but put a timer on it so it only comes on for a few hours a day or do I dont even need to bother since we use it so much. It has 4 new 6 volt house batts.

Heavy duty trickle charger?

My Personal Opinion, if you use it that much and have the ability to shut off the power to the house and motor batteries then you don't need to do anything at all. I don't and mine run strong all the time and we only use once a month. I just use the button to shut off all house and and coach batteries and make sure that I got and start it up once a month if we don't use it the once a month we do.

I use mine about every 3 weeks but leave it plugged in. My charger/inverter does a bulk,float charge. reads the state of charge and charges accordingly. I do,however, always check the battery water to make sure its not drying them out. JMHO.

I was told by the guy at the battery place to shut down all power and not leave it plugged in. About 4 or so days before I use it to plug it in. He said it isn't bad to leave it plugged in, but you have to check the batteries often. If you do it his way, you don't risk the chance of boiling the batteries.

<------------------Leaves ours plugged in through the winter months. The engine block heater is going and batteries are always charged. Need to check the battery water now and again, Just in case. Inside storage will make your RV last much longer. We fuel and wash ours before we park inside that way when we are jones-in to get out we just head out.

If you have a very high quality converter (ie Xantrex Prosine, etc) leave it plugged in as Dave said. They have a 3 stage charging operation that keeps your batteries perfect. My last batteries lasted 7 years!

Same here, my charger/inverter makes sure they dont get over charged or under charged. We use ours every 2-3 weeks.

Bro - simply shut off the power completely every time you store it and you will have no issues...........

You might as well not even have batteries....it just travels from one plug to the next!!!

I really don't know how to respond to Deano's post.

Its OK he's a Dr. And yes for the record I kill the master power in the coach and the tractor has a master power switch as well, so I think I will leave it un plugged for now.

Read the directions of the proper charging for your batteries...I'll bet you will read that you must always charge your batteries to "fully charged" hence my post to leave them plugged in if you have a high quality charging system/inverter.

I have to agree with Wild Bill on this one. Your coach and most DPers are essentially meant for plugged in operation. Dry camping is not what these things were meant for. Keeping it plugged in keeps everything fresh and on top of it you can keep the Fridge on!!! You converter/inverter/charger should be set up for full time charge.

2nd hand info here , a friend of mine has a Monaco dp and was told to leave the fridge on at all times . He can turn off the coach and plug in his fridge direct . Anyway food for thought .

I have a float charger and leave it pluged in all the time when not in use

Just went through this on my Renegade coach. If you have a float capable charging system, leave it plugged in.....................

If not, consider a low amp battery maintainer hooked directly to the batteries but turn the master switch off.

And that's a bad thing???

Hey Walt how much are they charging you for the indoor storage?
Reason I ask I have about 20,000 sqft of indoor space in Ontario
and was thinking of renting it out for Moho or Boat storage

I needed a bigger office so I leased a new building with office space in the front and a 20 by 50 warehouse in the back. With the glutton of office space out there, I ended up getting the bigger office we need now and the spot in the back for the moho for a few hundred more a month than what I was spending for the old office.

I did check all over for rentals for indoor moho storage in oc, ie and la county. Going rate is @ $400 a month for a private, you lock it, 40 foot or so spot. I found it for close to $300 in Anaheim, but it was the valet type where they park and pull out your rig, no 24 hour access etc.

^^^^^^^^makes the most sense^^^^^^^^

I would leave it plugged in if I had the chance. JMHO
