This would take care of your needs:

Except that place is not legit at all. The kit says Free Shipping, yet when you add it to your cart, it wants to charge you $60 shipping.
So I decided to call them to see if they could help me take care of that. Went straight to voicemail and said their mailbox is full. I'd be afraid to send them any money lest I'd never get it back.
I decided to add another 100W panel to the system I purchsed, bringing my total to 200W. That should be good for keeping my batteries charged. The controller I bought can handle up to 30A, so I may add two more panels before next summer. With 400W on tap and our camping lifestyle, we'd probably never have to run the generators except when we want to use 110V appliances (mainly the blender) or the AC.
