When storing for winter (rv will be outside) whichis better
Disconnect RV batteries completely or leave RV plugged into 110v continually?

Depends on the type of converter you have.
A 3 stage converter will automatically switch to the "float" stage when the batts are fully charged. This "float" stage will keep them charged without overcharging or 'boiling' them.

Confirm what type of converter you have...and welcome to the Forum.

I leave ours plugged in at home 24/7 for 6 months at a time. Batteries are over 7 years old now and still OK. We have a Xantrex 2000 watt inverter and use the built in three stage charger.
