Motor start while on shore power?

[Airdelroy]

Before starting the motor I have been disconnecting from the shore power. Im wondering if this is required or am I being overly cautious? Now that its summer it would be nice to continue running AC, etc while the motor warms up.


Perhaps this doesnt really matter?


thanks,
Aaron

I do so all the time and have done so for years.

I've started up on shore power for years and no issues. Not as a habit but usually because I'm trying to figure out a motor/mechanical issue and need to leave the power to the house on. Curious if this is a bad practice, and why, or a non-issue.

Usually when preparing to leave a camp site, I have the motor running. This also allows the heat or AC in the drivers area to reach comfortable temps. Disconnecting and rolling up the cord is the last thing I do other than a walk around to check compartment doors.

I have also noticed that the Frig stays on shore power until its disconnected, then switches to 12v.
