shore power
If you keep your trailer plugged into the truck while using shore power does this create any problems for the charging system or any other problems? Thanks in advance.

Yes, to a point. I'm not sure that the charge wire will allow enough current to charge the trailer batteries in a reasonable time. When you are driving the highway you are charging the trailer batteries. I don't know if you want to let your truck fast idle for a period of time to charge the trailer batteries. Sounds like you are a candidate for solar.
I know a little bit about solar and yes it is a good option. Our summer place is off grid and I run solar panels with eight 6 volt golf cart batteries, charge regulator, and montoring read out, also a Honda 5500 generator as back up. The setup I would need for my trailer would be more equipment to haul with us. But I do carry along our Honda 2000. That is one great quiet backup!
Thanks for the input!
