Dry camping, battery idea?

Hi Jim,
Well duuuhhh, my system does 7 amps in leafy shade at solar noon. And when traveling to a camping spot or between locations the permanent install will top up the house batteries while duhhh the portable one doesn't.
Plus there is a security issue. Panels that are not fastened can "walk away".
For the truck to do much charging a boost circuit needs to be added.
I've always wondered about solar working at all when it's not in direct sunlight. The vast majority of the time, we like to camp under trees in the shade. For that reason, the portable panels looked attractive to me. I'm still very much in the information gathering phase.
