Battery care in storage
#3

If there are any outlets check into running a long extension cord to power a battery tender....they don't take a lot of power, so a long run with an extension cord will not hurt. This way, when you do come to take it out of storage in the spring you can start the generator to power up the block heater, which will make starting much easier. Hard starts are hard on Detroit Diesels. If no outlet is available for that purpose, then I suggest visiting the coach at least once a month, if not more, and running the generator for at least an hour, or more to keep the batteries charged, or acquire a small portable generator to take over to the storage facility, and run it for a few hours to keep the batteries topped off.
