That windy nation kit doesn't come with any way to connect to battery. That means going out and buying extra items that hopefully connect to that one. Plus screwing into my camper which I prefer not to do.
What's not in the kit is two short cables to connect the solar charge controller to the battery. You can purchase that at an auto parts store. In fact some real knowledgable guys that use solar have made good use out of jumper cables. You could cut one end off a set of jumper cables and attach the jumper cables to your battery.
If you leave the panel and the other bits as a portable set, you won't have to master a screw driver or use any tools besides a wire stripper. This is very easy stuff.
