    Yep go the Battery Charger for sure AB that will be the simplest way around your dilemma. A CTek or alike will get you out of trouble.

    Hey I'm not sure i like your new Avatar though fella? This MudRunner fella must be a right Goon!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Been using the battery charger idea at powered sites for the past two years. It's never been a problem. Set everything up to be 12v and use powered site to run charger. Later down the road, you might buy a quiet portable gen and use it to charge second car battery in the same way. Run the gen for a couple of hours and use battery 24/7. My second battery setup is an AGM that charges real fast, so if I'm on a camp site that doesn't allow gen, we go for a short drive on day two or three etc an top up battery.
    Cheers
