Jim,
When our trailer goes into storage (35 miles from our home) during the winter, I too, remove the batteries and store them in the garage, along with the battery from my golf cart. I keep a charger attached to the trailer batteries, and turn it on about once a month to trickle charge them for about 24 hours. Then I move the charger to the golf cart battery and do the same thing.
During the "season" the trailer sits in our driveway and I keep the shore power attached, which keeps the batteries charged. I check the water every couple of weeks. We use our trailer as a spare bedroom (ours) when our house is full of guests, which happens 2-3 times between Memorial Day and Labor Day. So, water and power are connected 24-7.
The battery straps on our trailer are similar to what we had on our TM, so I know what you mean. However, since I only access them a couple times a month, I've gotten used to the "hassle.")
Again, nice job on the switch... you do nice work!
