If you are parked for three months, hooked up to shore power, should you use the battery disconnect or leave it on to maintain the batteries?
I suppose that is a matter of choice, I have my Monty plugged in all the time and the batteries are being maintained through the converter. I check them for water every 3 months or so. In other words my batteries are "not" disconnected.

I personally don't use the battery disconnect at all and even if I could not plug into shore power I would either install a disconnect at the battery to eliminate all drain or simply disconnect the battery. I have determined that on mine the remote receiver, the breakaway switch and the wire leading to the trailer plug that is hot from the TV are all connected when the disconnect is in the off position. The only drain in those three is the receiver.
