Phil, why would you remove anything when not there? I never remove any of that stuff from my trailer, even when it's in storage. For me, the whole point of an RV is so you can hook up and go with minimal fuss. So it is full stocked with everything but perishables in the fridge. Leave the heat on, if you want. You may find it spendy, though.

Same for the batteries. I never remove mine. Could never figure why people remove them for the winter if they aren't using the trailer. They won't freeze, if charged, down to something like -40 or -50 so why worry? When I'm not hooked up I will remove the negative because stuff in the trailer will quickly run down the battery. Otherwise, leave it hooked up. You know the KISS principle? Keep It Simple, Stupid. That's my motto.
