What to do when on vacation?

[TonyWilliams]

I will need to do that up here in Snow Land, as I am thinking I would not be driving this in the snow here and stay with the P/U for Winter.
Thanks for the post.

Just wondering, would it be better to have the trickle charger on for say a few days then off for a few days ?
I would really not want to keep it trickled for the full 3 months of Winter here.

If you are driving daily, you don't need a 12 volt battery tender. If you need the tender (for storage of more than a long weekend in some cases), then just leave it on all the time. You won't hurt the battery with a proper tender, but you will damage it should it get discharged.
