Plug in or not

Purchased a new 5th wheel. Been leaving it plugged in at the house had 50 amp service installed. Been reading about leaving it plug in all the time or just a few days prior to leaving out on a trip. Some yes some say no. What do you guys say. I don’t see any harm in leaving it plug in all the time. Unless I’m missing something.

If you leave it plugged in the only thing you need to do is check the water level in the battery(s) at least monthly.

1 pop-up, 3 travel trailers, 1 fifth wheel, all plugged in 24 x 365 for 22 years, and never an issue.

Mine stays plugged in through the entire camping season. The only time it's disconnected is when towing or dry camping. Just don't forget to check the electrolyte level in the batteries monthly.

Honestly if you have room to park it where it can be plugged in 24/7 I don't see why you wouldn't want to.
Been rving 40+ years & every RV was plugged in all the time, they make great guest rooms.
