I did the separate charge for a while and got tired of hauling it out, having the hood unlatched, cords etc. so changed to the trik-L-start. Works great, and wasn't really difficult to install. I leave the charger at home now. Only time it gets used is occasionally at the storage facility.

You can take a 'portable' charger, install it in the basement, then connect one lead to the ground, and run another to the chassis battery. Install a 20 amp fuse near the battery, and you have a perminate set up, plug it into a nearby basement storage receptacle, and you are done. No need to think about it anymore.
In my motorhome, I ran a #12 wire from the house battery charger to the coach battery, with fuses at both ends, and a switch that I can turn on from the drivers seat, so that I can charge it once in a while if needed.
