Not what you asked, but it strikes me that if your customer is paying for a
leisure battery, plus charging system, they will have enough charge in the
battery to run a few 12V lights, a water pump and all the usual things you
can find in a caravan, including a 12V TV. They would need at least 2
amps from the trickle charger to do that.
