Batteries should be separated after the charging protocol. Connect all batteries together and apply 1 nominal 14.2 charging volts and there is no way any of the batteries can detect it one battery or a hundred are online, or the chemistry of any of them. The only requirement made of a charging system is that it not under or overcharge the battery. Voltage requiments for flooded 5% antimony batteries and pure lead AGM is similar enough for multiple warhead work.
It's when the charging ceases that the problems arise.
So go ahead and use a smart solenoid to parallel charge the batteries. I have done this too many times to count.

If they are all wet cell and you have solar... I would just connect them and let it run.
No separate charges upon return. No reconfiguring while camping. Just let the solar do it's magic.
Of course if you have insufficient sun for a few weeks to get up into absorption then apply a float.
That is how I roll.
