Removing batteries gets old real quick. From the OPs usage I'd suggest a large set of cables from the TV battery to the RV batteries. This will go a long way towards significant battery charge from CG to home to storage.
Add solar to finish the charge in storage. Since you often store it for a month you don't need a huge solar setup. And if it's just a few days the batteries will be fine and benefit from alternator charging as you leave storage and then leave home.
Also add a full disconnect switch for the batteries so there is absolutely no RV battery drain in storage. Wire the solar to the battery terminals so switch off and batteries get charged.
I have battery switches on both of my battery banks for storage which is covered so I can't use my solar. There is limited battery self discharge and I make sure they get fully charged once a month. And the OP uses his RV once a month.
