    Not enough time to charge on the road unless you are a long way from the lake to storage location.

    You need about 100W of solar charging for each battery.

    You either need a system to combine the batteries together for charging, a separate charging setup for each battery, or a system with an inverter to power your onboard charger.

    It's not simple, but its possible. Its usually easier to find powered storage
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Just shut batteries down or disconnect. My batteries stay charged just fine not plugged in

    Those are trickle chargers, and barely even that. It would takes days to get a full charge… per battery!
