You don't need a trickle charger. I have never used one in over 20 years of camping. Either keep it plugged in when not in use or disconnect the battery when not in use. The battery will then stay charged. Instead of using a trickle charger, the guy can merely plug his camper in using a 30 amp/20 amp adapter.
Be wary of this statement^.
Unless your onboard charger/converter also has float/tender mode, you WILL overcharge your batteries just leaving them plugged in indefinitely when not in use.
Many do, many don’t. Which do you have?
