Battery Question

Since I keep my RZR stored in my toy hauler, I was keeping the trailer plugged in to power so I could keep the RZR on a trickle charger. But someone told me I shouldn't do that because it would damage my trailer battery. Had something to do with it being more like an actual charge to the trailer battery instead of a trickle style charge, thus hurting the battery. Anyhow, my question is, is it ok for me to just leave my trailer plugged in all the time or will it hurt my battery?

    Install a battery disconnect switch on the TH.

    Get a 20 watt solar panel & use it to maintain the RZR battery.

    No need to be connected to shore power for that purpose alone & by disconnecting the RV battery from the system you won't have to be concerned about it possibly boiling out.

    So why not disconnect your batteries completely from the toyhauler? If you are always plugged in to 110, then that is where the draw should be from, not battery.
