1 Solar panel--2 Seperate batteries
I have a 100 watt solar panel. I want to use this 1 panel to charge 2 separate batteries in different locations. Will a wire splitter with 2 different control boxes work or should I get another pane...

If you are planning to use the one 100 watt panel while camping: I would tie the two batteries together, and wire the panel directly to the batteries (no controller). Watch the voltage and if it rises above 15 volts disconnect the panel.
If you are planning to leave the system alone (ie. storing the RV), tie the two batteries together and use one controller.
With one 100 watt panel, anything more than this is over-engineering a simple system.
