I am wanting to add a solar battery charger to my TT. I would like to keep the battery at full charge while in storage, ther are no electical outlets near the TT. The TT uses a single battery deep cycle type. I would like to leave the battery hooked up and hot to the TT. I hope I made my self clear about what I am trying to do. What size solar charger do I need?

You want to contact an RV solar company and they will tell you exactly what you need for a panel size and controller.

I agree with Fred, contact some solar suppliers. Here is one that has been in business for a while: http://www.amsolar.com/
They (and others) make a portable unit that folds up like a suitcase for transport. It looks like a viable option if not interested in placing permanant structures on your roof. It has everything needed to charge batteries or can be hooked into a more permanant power management system.
A full fledged solar kit installed on your roof would keep your batteries charged in storage as well as when your unit is in use. 200 watts is plenty for one battery.
