To disconnect or not to disconnect power?

Hello,
Recently acquired a 2021 Cougar 26RBS with the solar package. Was just wondering when it is in storage should I turn off the solar box, inverter and flip off the battery switch, or should I leave at least the solar on to tender the batteries while in storage between trips? Thanks!

There's no reason to have the inverter on if it's not being used. I would let the solar panels keep the battery charged during storage. If the battery is a flooded cell battery check water level monthly.

Unless you are concerned about battery theft and remove them completely, why not let solar keep the batteries topped off? That's what you have solar for.
