My 179 will be stored for short times, maybe a month at a time, on a pad I built next to my house.

The trailer is covered.

My questions are:

1. Is it OK to let it sit with it plugged in to 120v 30 amp power?

2. Is it OK to let it sit with the slide out?

Thanks,

JIM

Devro,

My answer would be OK to both, this is how I do mine:

I also store mine at house. I have powered applied to keep battery charged and run fan or heater as appropriate.

When in full storage I do not leave slide out, if you look at bottom of slide from inside, on mine I can see daylight. Which means rodents or bugs have easier access. I do use prevention for both, but know it is sealed when slide is closed.
