This is way over my head. My solar charges my four 6v using 14.8 volts and when I see the Panel voltage gauge jumps to 20v on the gauge and my battery voltage is over 13.5v..........it's done.
I learned something from this forum that might relate to your setup. The flooded 6v like a big strong charge current. Which you probably wont get from your solar.
I had batteries die premature. Only 2 years old. They were on solar 24/7 and rarely cycled. I figured they died from living on float charge during the day.
The smart guys on here told me they most likely died from being undercharged. My solar setup was not giving the strong charge current the flooded batteries wanted.
It might benefit you to turn on a bunch of lights at night. Cycle the battery down. Then if you run your generator once a month maybe the trailer charger is giving a somewhat stronger charge than the solar.
