Do I need to take my battery home to trickle charge?

I made my first travel trailer purchase and keep it on leased land in Illinois where it will stay all year. It's a 2006 Cherokee with one battery next to the propane by the hitch. I can connect to power while staying at the camper, usually 2-3 days at a time, but need to unplug when I leave. Can I leave the battery in the unplugged trailer for a month or two between visits or do I need to take it home with me and keep it on a trickle charger?
  • can you leave the trickle charger on while you are gone from the site. with out knowing what converter you have in the TT, since some of the old ones will over charge your battery ad dry it out. is there anyone around that is keeping an eye onthe TT? if so you can leave the trickle charger on and it should maintain it while you are gone
