EFOY has had fuel cells that can be used in RVs for quite some time. This seems like the ultimate RV set it and forget it automatic battery topping up any-time/all-the-time solution to me:

As an aside, after reading all the posts about leaking RVs in these forums, for the life of me I can't understand why so many folks are willing to punch holes in their beautiful one piece RV roofs for mounting of solar panels. IMHO instead, doubled-backed 3M VHB tape should be used for attachment of solar panel mounting brackets to RV roofs instead of screwing into the roof:

When instaling solar panels on my roof I filled the holes with silicone then pushed the bolts thru,,never leaked yet..
