We leave our rig hooked up to shore power all the time it is at home. We've had it since 2002. Replaced the batteries that came with it second year we had it. The ones we have now are the no maintainance type. I have been surprised they have lasted this long.

We turn off the fridge and the HWH.

We've never done a cost comparison. We have the rig ready to go (or almost so). We use it as a spare bedroom for family and guests. It is really handy having it right at the house.

We do the same as you, a spare bedroom even in the depths of winter. I just put the cord away to keep it out of the weather although I don't suppose it really hurts it.
