Trickle Charger for Batteries

[ejm]

I'm going to rent a storage building for my Fifth Wheel, it only has a 120v power outlet. If I hook up a trickle charger to the batteries will that be enough for the inverter to power the residential refrigerator. Also, will I be able to operate the slide outs. I can rent another unit that has 30amp service but it's $100 more per month. If I get a unit with no electricity, how will I be able to raise the auto levelers. Thanks in advance for your help.

I would think that a standard 120 volt 15 or 20 AMP service should run your refrigerator and let you operate your slide outs. If you go with no power I would disconnect the batteries (not by the key) when you’re gone and reconnect them when you need to. Hooking up the 12 volt cord to your truck should enable the landing gear to operate even if the trailer batteries are not fully charged.

I agree with Theunz.
