I checked the electrical section and can't find the answer. Do you all leave your B190 pluged in to shore power and charging for the winter? This is my third year for my 93 B190 and I have always keep it plugged in when not in use.

Hi Gary: I usually leave mine plugged in, now that I have the new converter and can trust that it won't kill my coach battery. But the extension cord can get buried in a snow bank, which is annoying. Alternatively, I will sometimes just disconnect the coach battery between winter trips.

This is the answer. If you have a good 3-stage converter installed, you can leave it plugged in and not worry about it. A single stage converter (which is what the stock converter is) will fry your battery, though.
