Motorhome storage

[soccer23]

We will be storing our MH off site for a few months while we have some home renovations completed. What is the appropriate way to store it in regards to the batteries? Is turning the coach batteries off sufficient enough to not ruin the batteries? Do they need to need to be removed and placed on trickle charger?

Thank you!

Get a battery maintainer, not the same thing as a trickle charger.

Just so I understand correctly, remove the batteries and use a battery maintenance device rather that a trickle charger?

Thank you for your response!

If you have power (not via a GFCI outlet) at your storage, leave the coach plugged in and set your inverter or energy manager to the appropriate amps to match your shore power. If you don't have power, simply turning off the "salesman" switch may not be adequate as on some coaches there are various parasitic loads that are connected upstream of the switch. I am just not familiar with your particular brand.
