I have 4 golf cart batteries that I connect to a 30-watt solar panel and an appropriate charge controller. The trailer sits in storage for 6+ months and the batteries stay fully charged. I have a disconnect switch, but you can accomplish the same thing by just removing the positive or negative lead from your battery bank.
It's probably obvious, but if you do disconnect the batteries for storage, you want to be careful not to also disconnect the solar charger. (I say it's probably obvious, but it does sound like the kind of thing I might do without thinking!)
