Larry,

I understand your point of view. I may need to clarify myself a tad. I would suggest to disconnect your battery in the scenario that you don't have a battery tender to keep them charged. If you do then you have no need to worry about your batteries as they will always be ready to fire your coach. I happen to think that most luxury coaches ( Newell, Prevosts, Wanderlodge) have "lot rot" when you consider their miles in terms of age.
