Dry Camping with EU2000i & Trojans
I'm not completely understanding how these things all go together when dry camping. I am replacing my single 12v battery with two Trojan T-105 6v golf cart batteries. We plan to dry camp with no hoo...

IMHO not knowing what's actually going on is complicated and leads to additional costs down the road. Proper battery care is essential for long batter life and really is simpler than not knowing what is going on. That is from years of experience paying attention to batteries vs being around those who don't. I don't even recall the list time we where not camping miles and miles from a current bush, sometimes for 8-10 days. I too have never been without power but was amazed at how bad the OE trailer gauges lie. They don't lie to the point of losing power but they do lie to the point of killing batteries faster than is needed. Car chargers are also known to charge a little hot which means the top charge lasts longer (false indications), but also at the cost of battery life.
To each their own, but it's really hard to tell someone how something works when your not really aware of what is going on.
Like I said, you are trying to tell me you get 15 mpg, but your odometer and gas gauge are broken and you use a pump that doesn't measure fuel dispensed.
It works for you and there is no disputing that but it's hard to recommenced something to others when you have no actual data of your own and the specifications are not even close to working as you described.
You have mentioned using an auto charger in conjunction with and stand alone to the converter. If you are using it in conjunction with it will shutoff prior to 100% charge every time because the voltage sensed is a false indication of battery SOC due to the converter providing voltage.
Contrary to what you may think using multiple chargers is not simpler than a single good charger. Even a crappy converter with a decent simple auto charger is more complicated than a single good converter.
