So the gell would be going through many unnecessary discharge cycles as the small charger tries to keep up.
First, I am a bit strange.
Second, i already have the gell and the charger and the camper needs a new battery so the cheapest solution is to just figure out how to isolate it.
Sell the gel cell on Ebay or CL, then buy the appropriate smallest RV/ MarineFLA.. I see absolutely no advantage or reason to hold on to the gel battery because you will need to make unnecessary alterations to make it "work" introducing potential points of failure.
New 100 Ahr gel batteries seem to be going for $189-$240, a used good one surely you could get $100 for it which is more than what it would cost for a new group 24 FLA battery..
