Camper winterization question

I have a coachman slidein. I winterized it last week. My neighbor who has a 5er came over and said it was not a good idea to keep the camper plugged into the garage for an extended time. Instead the battery should be disconnected. My camper manual does not address that and he can't tell me why but says his 5er manual stated that. My question to him was, what if I was camping in Arizona all winter. The camper would be plugged in and charging the battery.

Does anyone know what is right.

Thanks for the info
