I actually have my eyes on this one.
More than just maintenance, may be enough to go off the grid for a week.
The fact that this can be stored inside, and then placed where you need it in the sunlight, makes it a winner for me.

My thoughts are to put a 2-pin connector, linked in line to a solar controller to the Aux battery.

And for less than $250 I'm off the grid.

Since my Vanagon doesn't get the use it should sometimes, the battery can
go flat in a few weeks. I have been using this inexpensive solar maintainer
all summer at it has worked out great. It's not a charger, but it will
maintain whatever level the battery holds when the unit is plugged in. From
Amazon. There are a zillion choices but this is pretty close to the one I
bought.
