in my rig that operates a residential fridge off an inverter while we're traveling. You think I should disconnect MY trailer batteries from the tow vehicle? SMH.

Only need about 10 volts for 20 seconds in an emergency.
1. I didn't say it did die in less than 24 hours. I'm saying that every RV is different in terms of battery capacity and 12 VDC loads while traveling. To make a blanket statement that a 12 volt charging circuit from the truck is not required is, IMHO, irresponsible.
2. 10 volts for 20 seconds? Really? That will activate my hydraulic pump for the electric over hydraulic disc brakes? I don't think so!
