New batteries - maintaining charge while stored
I would turn off the boilers as with them they require more attention and prompted the need for auto water systems, now a thing of the past. I would hook up a 20 amp xantrex while parked. I am sure the boilers will work good while on the road. I would think a $100 sears automatic charger would wok just as well to maintain a top off charge wile parked. most chargers now even the cheap ones are automatic and wont boil out the life of your batteries.

Also, I think in a compartment on the drivers side there are one or two things plugged in that maybe be one or both of the chargers/inverters..??
