Hi Wayne and welcome.
I keep mine plugged in all the time as I use the van as an office. I don't see any harm, and as you say it keeps the battery charged which should extend the life.

thanks relgate my expande is a 17.56 2 ob 2012 as well we just had the ends replaced how is your ends.?have you made any mods to yours. I have replaced the lights with leds and fitted gas fuses to the gas bottles.other than that it is stock,
I've done bits and pieces, made up some clear vinyl covers for the bed ends, added a GPS tracker, added some down lights above both tables plus various hooks n stuff.
What do you mean about your bed ends replaced? The hard lids?

Just read your first thread. Bubbling ends I see.
Touch wood, my ends have not had any troubles. No signs of any bubbling. I have small cracks in the upper internal corners of which I will make the dealer aware, but nothing too serious.

Ours is always plugged in and the battery has always been plugged in. It was in our old Hawk and now the Expanda. I bought the battery in 07 too :whistle: and its been no problem.
relgate yes the hard covers had to be replaced they both had large bubbles in them looked really bad.
