Take a digital pic of your battery compartment connections first. Because I store my Safari away from home I pull out the batteries and leave them in my basement. I put a trickle charger on them every few weeks through the winter. A discharged battery is subject to freeze (once you move to Chi town).
David Tidmore of the Weatherford TX Airstream dealer wrote last winter in Airstream Life that there is no truth to batteries dicharging if they're set on concrete. Even out-of-service batteries need attention.

Bob,
I'm glad that David did the piece on batteries placed on concrete but you know, I get that comment almost on a daily basis. Strange how these myths just never seem to die!
And discharged batteries will certainly freeze and be rendered unuseable. Thanks for pointing this out!
