I use a CTEK charger to charge the leisure batteries. I have the 5AMP version but you can get higher ones for a faster charge. You should be able to get one that works on 110 (I presume it auto switches but check). I use the cigarette adapter so I can just plugin to the rear socket in the trunk.

As I drive he van quite a bit I have never had to have it on over 30 minutes so far.

Never used when camping so it depends on what the power draw is and which of CTEK you use as to if it can supply more to the batteries than you are using.
