And are you going to remove the batteries in winter?
Or are you going to just leave the RV plugged in?
Does it matter?
If one was to disconnect the batteries (assuming that they have been fully charged at the end of season) they WILL be fine to store IN THE RV for at least 3-4 months without the need for any charging.
Any half decent battery should be able to sit 4-6 months without any charging needed due to self discharge rates IF the battery has been disconnected from the RV (from phantom current draws). EVEN IN THE WINTER the batteries will be safe as long as they are CHARGED they will not freeze!
OR, IF the RV is equipped with a 3 stage converter, the storage mode is SAFE ENOUGH to allow you to keep the batteries connected to the RV AND run the converter 24/7 without excessive water use.
Why does folks do the hard things..
To me, lifting and carrying two 6V GC batteries is a lot of heavy hard work..
