If the batteries were fully charged and disconnected you never did need to remove them from the RV. So, yes, with (or without) solar there is no need to remove them.

Okay now I have a storage question. In the past couple winters I stored the batteries in my garage. Now that I have the solar panels, do I still need to take the battery out and store in the garage in the winter, or will the charger controller able to maintain the battery despite the low temperature? The low's sometimes get to the single digits here in the winter, but mostly winter is sunny, so should able to provide more than enough charge through the panels.
