just an fyi for all. I don't have the 65 watt panel any longer, i will only have the 100 watt panel, I have the generator also and not planning on adding panel at this time. the one panel has served me well for over 10 years. Good Luck & Be Safe ! ! !
Just to reiterate from my previous comment - you have two Group 31 batteries having a total AH capacity of at least 200AH....maybe 250AH. You are going to use a single 100W panel.....having a nominal output of 5 A. Even were you to receive full sunlight over a 6 hour period ( doubtful ) you would still only be charging your 200+ AH battery bank with 30AH. My point is that your system as proposed does not need a charge controller as it is at best only producing a trickle charge. Your daily RV 12V consumption should easily exceed what you are putting in preventing any harm to batteries.
