For long term storage you have a few options:
1. Connect a battery tender that is meant to keep a battery charged during long periods of storage
2. If you have a decent multi-state charging converter in the RV, you can leave shore power plugged in with the regular power cord
3. Disconnect all of the leads attached to the negative post of the battery
4. Disconnect the battery completely, remove it, and take it home and store it in a more temperature controlled environment

If you have a simple trailer with a single, dealer installed battery it likely came with something like this:
