battery charging & solar panel
Hello. New RVer here. Thanks for looking at my question. Have a new TT and it does have a solar panel, although it is minimal..thinking 20w. I've had the unit for about a month and only used it ...

Am I okay to let the batteries sit dead for a couple weeks and just let them charge when on shore power next?
The short answer is no. Any time batteries are left at less than full charge damage is being done, shortening their service life.
Dead batteries will also freeze, while fully charged ones are safe until -70F.
As has been recommended, 100 watts of solar will do a excellent job of maintaining batteries in most situations.
