Leaving lead acid batteries to sit idle without cycling/conditioning charging to discharge below 12volts is their death knell. Keep a charge going into them and they will serve you well.

Removing the chassis battery on an Axis/Vegas unit is a bear.
I've had my Axis for 7 years now and it has lived through that many winters: I put disconnects on both batteries and disconnect them whenever the coach is in storage. During the winter I start both the engine and the generator on a regular basis to keep the batteries charged (with them connected of course).
This will likely jinx me but: I still have the original chassis battery in the coach and it starts the V-10 right up every time.
