Since it 108 degrees here ill be installing them tonight or tomorrow and test out the landing gear. Then ill get it to a rv site to start some other maintenance like checking the charging system and get it ready for out july trip!
It is highly recommended you charge up the batteries before using them, maybe Costco did?? You say you are unsure if the charging system works, so when you connect them in the TT, check the voltage on the batteries, then plug the TT into an outlet and check the voltage again, the converter should charge them to 13.5 - 14.0VDC or there abouts, but higher than when not plug into an outlet.
At the very least, connect an automotive charger to them to get them fully charged.
I do not live in a HOT climate, only hot July/August months but treat the batteries like you do for your vehicles, check and top off the levels the more they are used.
