House Battery charging

I have a 2006 Jamboree on a 22BCHEV Chassis. Can I keep my house batteries (2 ea type GC2 6 volt) fully charged by having the RV connected to shore power? Does this model have the charger that reverts to a trickle charge when the batteries are fully charged? Reason I'm asking when I checked the batteries the water level was below the plates and now I need to purchase new batteries. Is it safer to use a seperate battery maintainer type charger conncted directly to the battery. I have found several sources for my reeplacement GC2 battery with the removal caps to fill with water but Die Hard has a 6 volt GC2 golf cart battery that does not need to have water added (sealed unit). Does anyone have any experience with these Die Hard batteries? Thank you

    That vintage I would almost guarantee you the charger is not 3 stage. A replacement is probably around $250 try Bestconverter.com
    Link I've read a lot of positive reports on this forum about them.

    K7acz,

    If you come back with the make-model some one might tell you to keep or pitch it.

    Nobody can answer your question without knowing the make and model of you current converter. I can tell that the coach is old enough that I may not be a very good one and it maybe be worth your while to change it out for a new multi-stage number.
