With 2 hours per day you do NOT want a battery tender. Use the converter, or use the biggest meanest battery charger you can find.
ATM I only have a Battery Tender Jr.... I will use the available 120v to charge the house battery while I am there. Sometime in the future I will get a better charger.

Thanks for the info! No it does not also charge the chassis battery. I will be staying in a spot that is mostly covered and only gets 1/2 hour of sunlight a day and will only have access to 120v electrical for a hour or two a day, so I'd like to try and keep my house battery charged as much as possible. Thanks again!
When the 120v is available (even if only 15a) you would get more amps to the battery using the Rv's own converter than with the battery tender jr. You also have alternator charging and according to the brochure on that rig, an Onan gen. All of that works ok with the solar still connected.
