Unused batteries discharging; is solar trickle the answer?

Have two fifth wheels and since using them we've almost always been on shore power or generator, I think I've been delusional thinking the batteries in the rigs are working. They're unused for months ...

many epsolar charge controllers can be programmed.
voltage set points 9-17v, top charge limited to every 30 days (0-180 mins).
One needs a cable and computer with downloaded software to program.
a 10A version of the landstar ls1024B can be had for <$20 from aliexpress or <$30 on amazon.
