After reading this thread, I purchased the: Ultra TRIK-L-START™
5 Amp Starting Battery Charger/Maintainer, from the manufacturer; Ultra TRIK-L-START Starting Battery Charger/Maintainer for $55, (they were cheaper then Amazon)
arrived in 4 days and installed it yesterday took about 20 minutes,
Connected to the solenoid behind the Radiator overflow tank, has 3 wires, one goes to each battery bank terminal on the solenoid and the 3rd wire goes to ground. Had to remove 3 screws to move overflow tank, and mounted the charger to inside fender wall.

Now my starting battery is getting charged whenever I have shore power, generator power and Solar power.

Make sure to check water in your chassis battery if not maintenance free and check voltage because 5A is more than my 2A Trickle Charge. Was thinking that a 100W solar panel generates 8.33A/Hr. 5A isn’t much less.
