What is your intent... to maintain the batteries fully charged while in storage?
Disconnect the battery from the trailer in storage, buy a PWM charge controller on ebay for $10, and a 40 w panel for storage.
40w 12v panel
Buy a bigger panel if you want to recharge your batteries while camping. Calculate your daily amp usage first, then buy panels. 1 to 1.5 watts per amp you use per day.
Extensive selections of 12v panels.
I have two standard 12v deep cycle batteries but I don't have their specs right now. I would be using this system to charge my batteries while camping. My Honda eu2000i would be used for the microwave etc. I like the kits because they come setup already.
Standard 12v deep cycle battery, Group 24 DC, the small ones, are 75 amp hour rating at 20ah/hr. 2 of them would be 150 amp capacity.
This will do you just fine. In a kit, plug and play. 160W panel kit, plug and play.
160 watt solar panel kit. Portable. Plug and play.
