Solar for battery

I want a simple permenant solution to trickle charge the battery when in storage.

A simple solar solution that's not complicated.

I don't want it to do anything but charge the battery.

Hope some of you could share some ideas with me.

Thanks.

I don't know but the only thing that I can think about is #1. do you have a cut off valve #2. you can take it out and put it on a battery charger.

I use a simple solar panel that I bought at Harbor Freight Tools to keep mine up, while in storage. It works well for me.

There's many to choose from on eBay also.

X2, I bought one that puts out about 14 amps, really simple, mounted it it to the propane tanks, and wired it directly to the battery. I remove the 30amp fuse so the trailer is disconnected from the battery, I think it cost around $20

I take my camper battery out and hook it to a charger, but I use one of these for a truck I keep stored outside. It’s worked fine for years keeping the truck battery charged. About $20.
