I have an 89 Alpenlite trailer that has the original converter. I have two group 27 deep cycle batteries connected in parallel that I use in the trailer. I would like to know how best to charge the ...

The answer depends on many factors.
1 What converter is in teh RV? Magnetek 6300 UPGRADE Progressive Dynamics 9245 Well... Other than perhapd a biggert unit (IE 9260 which woudl be the proper MAX size for those batteries) there is no upgrade.
(60 amps is about your maximum recommnded bulk charge, however for most Lead Acid battery type a SLOWER charge is better (longer overall lire).
Many other make and models are also very good... So if you have a good 3-Stage charger in the RV.. That is the best way to charge.
Alsok if you replace thse Group 27's (next time they need replacement)( with a pair of GC-2 in series you get about 20% more total capacity and over twice the useable capacity and quite possibly longer battery life.
