No worries, here's a link to a Renogy 100W starter kit.
As you've found, the controller with that kit is not the best. It should work out for just a single panel, though. 100W may get you by for a few days of use. Depends on how hard you hit the battery with use.
If you don't already have one, get a cheap hand held meter so when you're messing around with solar and batteries, you have a tool that will measure voltage and such. It will also serve to let you know how much charge is left in the battery.
Good luck with the solar power, it is the best for charging batteries.
