Question:
Should I keep my 12 v deep cycle batteries hooked up to the camper wires when I am plugged up to shore power or a generator?? Will the generator or shore power charge the deep cycle batteries if they are hooked up to the camper wires ??

Yes you can keep your 12 volt batteries connected when you connect the trailer to a shore power connection. The battery though would not charge from this connection.
