Battery Boilers
Tom,
You'll have the master switch at your knee (pilots seat) and the accessory disconnect in the overhead behind the driver. This should disconnect all batteries loads that the factory originally planned. Your microphor toilet and other options my be wired directly to the batteries (like they did on mine) so turn that DC compressor off if you have that option. If your dumb chargers are the same that came with my 87 then their set at 13.6 volts (a fairly safe voltage if accurate). I would think 2 hours a day would be addequate for battery maintenance. Check a coulple of times to get a baseline. You wont need to use both (see which one puts out the least voltage). Any fourty amp smart charger could be left full on w/o issue for storage needs. Pull out one of the old chargers locate the breaker for it as both chargers should be on seporate brakers, drop the new charger in there and turn it on at the breaker. It is an easy install and you can just sit it in there for temporary. Tape off any exposed leads or power cord prongs while working on the chargers as all of your DC current shunts are directly below the charger. A lead drops and POP....
