To repeat......because this is important......you do NOT want a "trickle charger" because it just keeps going and going whether it needs to or not and over a long period can actually damage your batteries by running them dry.
You NEED a smart battery controller to go along with whatever panel you get.
THEN....if you can charge them up good and completely disconnect them, 90 days later they should still be fine. If they are NOT, then they needed to be replaced anyway.

There is not a big draw with these chargers so a reasonable size cord would be fine. Any extension cord that is about 50ft should have at least 16 ga. wire.

Battery Tender is a good brand that works great as it will charge then step down to float level. Sorry I just realized you were looking for solar power.

I have a Deltran 15 watt charger and it is top of the line. It will keep either the house or the chassis batteries topped off if fully charged when applied. It was very expensive+- $150. If I were to buy mow, I get at least 30 watts. Google Solar battery charges and compare. For $150 I could make one from the wires and battery clips to the controller and a 60 watt panel.
I have no other personal experience, just stuff I've gleaned from the forums.
