Winter storage

[sfedeli3]

John,

I routinely store mine for periods of up to 2 months without
starting the coach, genny or charging the batteries in the months of
December and January. As long as you have a master kill switch on the
coach battery bank and genny battery, you should be fine- assuming
that you have good batteries. I usually find the battery voltage still
at 12.8 volts after that time.

cut it off and every week or so start the genset for a while to
charge, then turn the master off. If you used the coach in winter, the
engine temps will be lower. I like winter in our coach down South.
