Unused batteries discharging; is solar trickle the answer?

Have two fifth wheels and since using them we've almost always been on shore power or generator, I think I've been delusional thinking the batteries in the rigs are working. They're unused for months ...

I keep my TT at the back of my property and have 2 x 100W panels which keep the batteries fully charger when stored. I take the panels with me if I'm dry camping.

I also have a battery disconnect switch - batteries consistently stay at 12.9.
