Hellos all - I bumped into this question by accident..
Its always a fight to maintain the engine battery in my Grayhawk-2008.
Eventually the battery goes dead or goes bad, I'm guessing from sitting too long between use.
Something is always active drawing power on this battery.

I have 3 house batteries + 2 solar panels.
Does anyone make a trickle charger devise I could hook to the solar system to keep the engine battery charged?
I see plug-in devises but I dont want to keep the inverter active 24-7. Just want to hook it to the solar system to maintain the engine battery.

Brand / type of devise / direct wiring ???

TY.. best, dw
 
Do you have auxiliary start that jumps the chassis battery from the house? If so, I have an easy to install, cheap fix for you that I did on our Alante.

..I do have but it doesn't always work. Id like to keep the battery charged on its own. Is there a charger device made that can hook to the house charging system?

What do you mean by, but it doesn’t always work? Reason for keeping the battery charged on its own? You seem to have some concerns.
Do you want solar or shore power, or both, to charge your chassis battery?
