Battery charging/converter behavior???

When I leave our Carbon toy hauler plugged into shore power, shouldn't it keep the batteries "topped off"?

I was surprised to discover that when plugged in, the batteries run down pretty far (10.4v the last time) before the converter kicks in and charges them. If I leave it plugged in, the cycle then repeats...batteries run down, then get charged when they're really low.

If this is expected behavior, how can I ensure the batteries are fully charged when leaving for a trip, particularly if it's a short drive and I can't rely on them getting fully charged from the TV connection?
