Is shore power all that expensive? FHU Park?
Agree with Tom M, I keep # cycles to a min to save the batts.
When on shore power I disconnect my batteries from the rest of the trailer and let the solar controller maintain them. Every morning the controller does an almost instantaneous bulk (mppt) and absorb phase (14.8V) and then sits at the float voltage (13.1V) for the rest of the day. Unless I equalize (15.9V) a lot, or boondock more than I am now, I just need to add water once a year.
