Good Morning Newell Gurus !
I am getting ready to leave my coach 804 (2007 - 625 cat -10 speed ZF) at the present RV park here in Inverness, Fla. The campground owners have agreed to to let me leave the coach for aprox 30-45 days. My question is - they have a 120 volt receptical that I can plug in to while Im gone. Can I leave the inverter turned on mainly for Battery charger and refrigerator?? Should it be OK?

So here is the deal. Yes you can leave it plugged for fridge and battery charging. There is one caution. If the 110 breaker trips OR it becomes accidentally unplugged, you will return to a potential problem with discharged batteries. Because now the battery bank is powering the fridge.
If your inverter will allow you to leave it on charge, but turn off the inverter portion, then it would safegaurd you against the power loss scenario.
You didn’t mention it, but you also need to have power to run the aux pump to keep the slide seals inflated. Allowing them to deflate is asking for water damage.
I would NOT leave one scrap of food in the fridge.

Check to see if there is a setting on the inverter/charger to adjust the charger output to a lower setting. You don't want it drawing too many amps if it goes into a bulk charge.
You picked a good location to store it. Being close to Richard is better than being at the Newell factory in Miami, Ok.
