Battery charging from shore power?
Stock, do most trailers charge the batteries when they are hooked up to shore power? Or does that occur when the trailer is hooked up to the tow vehicle?

Small trailers, Pop ups and >20 feet.. Kind of hard to tell. the ones I owned were old and did not.. But I've been in a few modern ones that do.. Over 20 feet. or made this century.. Yes, they most likely do..
HOWEVER.. Many come with something like a Parallex 7300,, this is a decent single stage converter/charger so it never quite tops off the batteries.
Still better than the odler magnetek 6300 which never STOPPED charging and thus boiled the batteries dry.
What do I like in a converter/charger.. Progressive Dynamics any of their Wizard controlled units no matter if the wizard is built in or plugged in.. I have been searching for a decade trying to find one better and have not yet succeeded.
