Trickle charge batteries in storage

A nice solution to your situation.

Thanks to everyone for either the thumbs up or the comments. As a new V to RV, all of this is A workout, but this solution for trickle charging and storage is likely to work for a long time. If anyone sees a TV With the tag "DRMIKE,"  or a Model 1575 with the decal "Lancelot," Please stop by and say Hi.

This looks great!! Do you need 2 solar battery maintainers  to maintain

two batterries??  Also, does the charger  adjust to two  6 volt batteries as well as a 12 volt?

There are several different solar chargers on the market That are typically 10 watt for one 100 amp hour battery. Whether it makes a difference if it is 6 volts or 12 volts, AMG or Lithium, I don't think it matters.

Because I have two 100 amp/hour AMG batteries, I selected the 20 watt solar panel. But the real advantage for this particular 20 watt solar panel was the preinstalled bracket That allowed me to adjust the angle of the solar panel. Further, it has a Built-in charge controller, and therein lies the compensator for different battery types and different battery Needs, in that the Solar panel continues to charge until the battery achieves 13.4 volts,  Then the charge controller stops to solar from overcharging the battery.

You might want to reach out to The technical assistance at go power, the manufacturer of most lance solar systems. But the technical assistance that was most helpful was from Renogy. The customer service folks post a question to the technical assistant, then you get a response in 2 to 3 days.

I hope this helps.

For those that have shore power available but don't want to leave the RV plugged in all the time, and option is to insert an inexpensive (...like 10 bucks...) 'coffee pot timer' into an outlet and plug in the camper (or a separate battery charger).  Once or twice a day it will kick on for the period you desire and then go to sleep for the rest of the day.   The next day it repeats its cycle.

Prior to the popularity of smart chargers or trickle chargers, we used these for years on our boats, tractors, RVs, trucks, and anything that just sat for long periods of time without use.  As long as you begin with a fully charged battery, and set them for 15 or 20 minutes a day, it's likely they are going to keep the batteries topped off just perfectly.  (Click here for examples)
