For those who store without power...I isolate and shut down both Engine and House Banks. Providing that the batteries are in good condition the coach has always started with the longest period about 6 months (yep, sorry got busy with family).
As a side note I am using Trojan T-105, Flooded Lead Acid, 6 Volt "Golf Cart" type for the House and Flooded Lead Acid 8D Starting Batteries for the Engine Bank. House Bank 5 years old and still very good while I change the Engine Batteries out every 2 years and they are becoming due.
