Kinda sounds like both trailers are parked at home with easy access. Could always fully charge the batteries and then take them off the charger. Check them monthly and charge when needed.
My trailer is on shore power. I take the batteries out during summer heat and store in the cooler garage. No reason to be giving them 13v while theyre just sitting there doing nothing. From what ive read in the trojan manual the best method for long term life is letting them self discharge in a cool dry place. Charge and equalize as needed.
For a backup i sometimes install and older 12v battery that came with the trailer. That way if the power goes out while im out of town the fridge can switch over to propane.
When a camping trip comes i put the healthy 6v's back in. With all the loading of bikes and fuel and food, putting 2 batteries on the tongue takes 5 mins and a very minor part of getting ready.
