Default KVH In-Motion Satellite System

I have read on this site that many of you leave your coach plugged in when storing your motor coach which is what I do. My question is since it is plugged in, do you leave the KVH system on so you don't loose the authorization or do you turn it off and when ready to use the coach contact your satellite company to reauthorize it? Is there a downside to leaving it on?

Steve:
I turn mine off and pull the card. Mine overheated and ruined the card. My Newell has ventilation up there but it was outside in the summer heat. It wouldn't lock in on the satellite so I knew something was wrong.
Thanks,

I left mine on all the time if it was locked on the satellites but that is not required and as Steve mentioned you can shut it off and pull the card its totally up to you.
