meyerske, My battery is always connected. The converter will keep it fully charged and not overcharge. If you loose shore power even for a short time your refrigerator and furnace will still operate on 12v.dc and propane. You don't say where you are located but a fully charged battery will not freeze also.

Phil533, Turning the propane off while not there is probably a good practice and running the furnace while not there for a few days would most likely be a waste of propane. It would be safer to leave the furnace off unless you have some freezables in the trailer. An electric blanket will prewarm the bed while the furnace brings interior temps up. Like I said above, keeping the battery fully charged will prevent freezing.
