You could always keep the WFCO and add a portable charger. There is no harm in having both.
I did something similar.
Switch the batteries out of the trailer's 12V circuits when 120VAC is available and use the WFCO strictly as a converter to run the 12V appliances.
Originally used a portable charger to maintain the seprated batts. But then mounted a PD for use as a charger only, and backup converter in case the WFCO dies.
Then I added solar on top of it all ...
Batteries seem pretty happy.
Went a similar route as Bruce, removed the WFCO for use in the other camper. Added solar as the primary means to keep batteries charged. Carry a 15 A smart charger for the few times we have shore power and the batteries need a charge.
