If you are leaving your battery at the storage lot over the long season be sure to have a battery disconnect switch installed at the terminals or just remove the battery negative terminal. The parasitic drains will get your battery dead in a just a week or so... Then you will have to buy a new battery...
A charged up battery will sit for a long time and not go down in charge very fast. They are also not prone to freezing if charged up... I still would check them at least once a monh...
You could also remove the battery and sit it inside the trailer too... I used to do this all the time when my trailer was sitting in a hotel parking lot when I was dragging my trailer with me on travel trips...
My metal folding step always ended up just inside the door and was a perfect spot to sit the batteries on top of it..
