I have no solar panel and it's a case of self discharge over time, cold weather inefficiency combining to result in a van that will not move on the movers at the end of the winter.

Sure, your battery may be less than it was, but charging from the caravan wheels won't change that. I'm fortunate, we now have power points in the storage yard so if I really needed to I could charge from them, though I haven't had to yet.
