Have missed this. Of course move that old monitor to new trailer, why asking...
When and if you get enough solar to keep batteries full on most days - a doable thing in New Mexico - then with a good controller display you won't have much use for battery monitor. Until then, you need some way to keep an eye on SOC. People don't usually buy controller before the panels.
With a substantial solar system a controller should still have a display for ease of adjusting the controller and checking some things sometimes that monitor might miss - built-in display is fine, doesn't have to be remote. Or a laptop connectivity if there is no display. In fact, I would discourage from getting a remote solar display when you already have a remote battery monitor. Too many toys in a small space of RV isn't always a good thing.
