Gary, there is continuous power to the inverter from the house batteries. When connected to shore power of 110volt, only about 1-2 amps charging power is sent to the house batteries. House batteries will keep their charge easily for 3 weeks and are rapidly recharged when running the Trek engine. Doubt if battery life willl be shortened if you elect to keep plugged into the 100 volt power from your house. So really whatever you choose, it is not big deal, in my humble opinion.
