What does my battery work on
I have a question when I'm camping without an electric hook up what will my battery power in the 15 ft travel trailer Also do you disconnect your battery when your camper is idle at home

My batteries appear to over charge while sitting idle and on shore power. I will use my disconnect switch if on shore power for awhile. And after a trip I will allow the converter on shore power to charge my batteries.
Which is likely due to having a single stage converter that is boiling the batteries. Newer converters such as the Progressive Dynamics converters are three stage, with high voltage for heavy charging of a low battery bank, then a couple of lower voltages to power stuff and maintain the batteries without cooking them, and also a desulfater cycle to help de-sulfate the battery plates for long life.
