If the coach is stored indoors, you can leave it off. Obviously the tighter your air system is the less the compressor would run. However with it indoors, if a line some how broke you would not burn up your compressor. The same would go for your water pump and water heater. I would store with them off in the event a water line leak developed. Differant converters hook up differantly to the aux air system so you would have to verify how yours is plumbed.

Slide seals are intended to prevent moisture from entering the coach during a rain storm. If the coach is indoors as Jeff points out there is no need to maintain accessory system pressure unless you need air pressure for some other reason, such as to operate a pocket door, or a bed lift.

If the coach is stored outdoors it is vital that the slide seal remain inflated, and even though the aux. compressor is maintaining pressure you have to verify the pressure is reaching the slide seals by checking pressure readings at the slide seal pressure regulator. Some coaches have the ability to supply aux compressor pressure to the house only, or to merge that with the Prevost system. When coaches are stored outdoors the owners have to merge the house and Prevost systems. Marathon has such a system, but there may be others.

This is a serious problem for coaches stored outdoors with no available shore power.
