Sara -
Rumbleweed will chime in, and he has a good setup. Yes, you can leave the battery in the trailer with the Battery Tender attached to it. I don't think you have missed the other two important points in this discussion, but just to be sure ....
First, if the Battery Tender is trying to trickle charge at 13.2 volts and the WFCO is charging at 13.7 volts, then the WFCO will win, meaning it will take over the charging process.
Second, the WFCO will eventually overcharge your battery.
So if your question means "Can I attach the Battery Tender to the battery, and power up only the Battery Tender
but not the TM during storage?", then the answer is Yes. That is a good way to proceed. And when you are camping, remove power from the Battery Tender and power up the TM. One or the other, in other words.
Didn't mean to beat a dead horse here, but batteries are expensive.
