There is no power available where I keep the trailer parked, unfortunately, so my only option at the moment is removing the batteries and keeping them at home.
So while connected in parallel in my garage, I'd have the batteries connected positive to positive, and negative to negative, and then connect my charger/maintainer to the negative on one battery and positive on the other battery?
When connected in parallel on my trailer, just connect the charge controller in the same way? It doesn't mess with any electronics or the converter in the trailer? (sorry, probably dumb question, but I'm new at this).
I don't believe the trailer has a battery disconnect switch either - do you recommend installing one for while the trailer is parked for a couple weeks at a time between camping trips?
