jdbunch, that's what I do. I don't trust the converter to be as kind to the batteries running long term over the winter as I do my CTEK smart chargers. I just run an extension cord to the tongue and keep the charger, which is largely weather proof, running on top of a couple boards below the trailer where it is pretty much protected from excessive rain and snow. Hooked directly to batteries, I can still have the batteries disconnected via the disconnect switch, and the smart charger monitors voltage and does it's thing if voltage starts to fall due to CO detector, etc.
