Solar Trickle Charger Solution for RV 5th Wheel to Keep Battery Topped Off in Storage
Question:
I am looking for your recommendations for a solar trickle charger for my RV 5th wheel. I have two 6 volt golf cart batteries ran in series to equal 12 volts. When parked there is no power and I have a complete battery disconnect to stop parasitic drains. I need a unit that will have the strength to keep my two GC batteries fully topped off

The OptiMate Solar Duo Solar Charging System with Controller - 20 Watt Solar Panel # MA79JR that you referenced would do a great job keeping the battery topped off when not in use. With full sunlight this can put out a charge up to 1.67 amps which would easily be enough to keep a 12 volt battery bank topped off.
