I installed 2 120 watt solar panels (Windy Nation from Arizona Wind and Sun) with a Bogart SC-2030 solar charger. The solar charger output is wired directly to the batteries, with a 40 amp circuit breaker between the two. The solar does a great job of keeping the batteries charged during the 90% of time when the rig is in storage with the Use/Store switch is in Store. They are always at 100% when I visit the rig to rub its belly and battery water is always full. The SC-2030 keeps them charged with no boil off.
