I think that it should shut off at 14,2 volts while camping or in storage.
The 14.2 volt cut-off is to allow the voltage to be high enough that it will break up any sulfites on the battery plates. Storage or not, they still need to come off.
You might need to add a little more water with the 14.2 volt setting, but overall it really does not matter than you need to add a few ounces of water every 2 months anyway, what is 1 extra ounce of water?
Group 24 battery is pretty small. I use a pair of 67 pound golf cart batteries. They offer a total of 220 amp hours at 12 volts.
Your RV will use a total of about 35 amp hours per day to run the CO meter, propane detector and refrigerator. Anything else that you run will be on top of those basic loads.
Good luck!
