TT battery
What is the best way to keep the TT battery charged when not on the road?? Plug it in like the boat, use a trickle charger??

I usually disconnect the battery between trips. About 3-4 days before we go on a trip I reconnect the battery, plug in the TT at our house, and the battery charges up (and we cool down the refrig).
Seems to work fine for us.
I agree .
Been doing this for over a decade .
A battery will freeze and crack during winter freezes if it is uncharged .
I disconnect my TT batteries fully charged after a trip .
We connect the batteries and plug the TT into 120v , (about 24 hours)at home while packing.
Charge them with the stock duramax alternator for the minimum couple of hours to our destination .
We dry camp without hookups about 70 % so good batts are important .
no genny . no solar . 9 day to 2 day boondocks camping .
I think this method is less stress than leaving the batts on a trickle charger .
