We just got our first RV a couple weeks ago, made out first trip and we are having a carport installed in a couple days. I have a few questions I hope y’all can help me with.
1. We will have an electric outlet installed. We plan to turn the fridge a day before a trip. My electrician wants to put in a 30A RV outlet. Is this necessary? I’ve had it plugged into a standard 110 outlet with no problem running AC and fridge. Is it necessary to keep it plugged in, maybe keep the AC set a little higher so it doesn’t get too hot? We live in FL mid 90’s now.
2. I see a lot of rv’s stored with the slide out extended. Is there a reason for this? Seems to me the seal would be exposed to the air and maybe deteriorate faster.
3. What about pest control? We are going to put some roach hotels inside.
4. Will the battery charge through the electric hookup or do I need to check it before a trip?
