Plugged in

Can I keep my trailer plugged into a 15 or 30 amp circuit for weeks at a time while it is in storage? Will this damage the batteries?

Look up the make and model of your converter, by 2006 many had gone to a
3 stage process.
The 3rd stage is a "float" stage. When nothing is turned on in the rv for 48 hours the converter goes into a float mode only putting enough juice in the battery to keep it charged, not over charged.
If things are working properly this should maintain the battery just fine.
I use a "Battery Tender" charger for my other battery's
