We were able to store our motorhome in the back garden and it was connected to the mains via the garage lights. It wasn't on 24/7, only when I flicked the switch to the garage around dusk. It was mainly connected to make sure both batteries where charged. Unfortunately heating the van, even if infrequently, is expensive these days so latterly we didn't bother. I suspect the point made by Truma is because their electric heating elements tend to go and they are pretty expensive to replace, hence the suggesting/instruction not to run them all the time?

My caravan is also plugged in, not to heat it or anything, but to keep the battery topped up, 100w of solar doesn't do much when the days are short, the suns low and its cloudy
