I have been thinking of maybe switching the existing panels' output to the chassis batteries. (They're 25 and 75 watts, 100 total.) I have found that some items (e.g., radio) run off of the chassis batteries and I want to ensure the chassis batteries don't get run down over a long stay with no amps being replaced.
Install the new panels and see if you get house charging from both solar setups. If so you'll have more overall charging and then add a Trik-L-Start device to keep the chassis battery up.
If for some reason the 2 systems don't play together nicely (most likely they will be OK) then connect the old one to the chassis battery.
