I installed a trik-l-start to charge the chassis batteries whenever I have the RV plugged in. Works excellent. HERE

This is the way to go.

I'd probably use two Battery Minders. If you have no parasitic loads, the one amp-hour model is good enough. If you do, get the eight amp model. That way, both sets of batteries are maintained and desulfated.
The problem with batter minders (and other small battery charges) is that they all require 120 vac. Trik-l-start and Amp-l-start do not. They have three small wires to be attached and the unit can be permanently installed. Once installed, you can totally forget about it and either of the battery systems to discharge while in storage as long as the coach is connected to shore power via the main power cord, these devices will take care of your batteries.
