We have decided to store our bighorn in the south during the seasons when we are not traveling rather than tow it up and down the east coast with the price of diesel and the wear & tear on both us and the unit. The storage place has both a cover and electric available. Our questions are: would it be better to leave the slides open or closed during storage? plugged in to keep batteries up & charged during storage or batteries turned off with a disconnect switch during storage? keep refrigerator operating if battries are left on or turned off and door open during storage? Unit would probably be left for 7 or 8 months during storage (spring, summer & fall) before next trip time (we both work for part of the year in a new england tourist town and travel during off season) Thanks for your thoughts.
