Winter battery storage

I thought that this would be an easy subject to find good information on, but I've drawn a complete blank. How do you store your house and chassis batteries? This is my 2nd winter with a Class A. Last year I had the 3 batteries (two 6-volt and one 12) in the basement (plus a motorcycle battery), and swapped chargers back and forth every few weeks but there has to be an easier way - a rack holding everything, with a charger or a pair of chargers that trickle all winter.
  • I leave mine in the RV. Both the Chassis and house batteries. They are connected with a charge line. I have a timer that allows the RV converter to charge them 3 times a week for 2-3 hours. They are both about one year old and I don't check them until I get back from Florida in 4 months. This has worked for me for all of my RV's over the last 10 years.
