I put a switch in the circuit from the trailer's built in charger so that I could choose to charge from either source. The charging systems are connected to charge both batteries. The batteries are wired in parallel to provide 12vdc with a lot of amperage capacity.

I forgot to use the switch one time and found that both the solar charge controller and the built-in charger, caused no ill effects to the batteries. I have left both charging systems connected to the batteries for two years now and everything is still OK.
