For your usage though 3 days 2 nights your 2 6volts may do the job on their own.
Ya I hope so ... that's why I'm looking at modifying my LP door to fit the extra 2" on the 6v boxes just to get the extra juice to hopefully last a weekend.
I just thought maybe a smaller basic solar panel could add a little extra to the batteries to maybe be safe ... heck even if it only adds 10% more power each day ... it's 10% I didn't have before.
Started looking and thought the OP link solar panel for $100 would be an option for my minimal use.
I wish I knew my usage but this trailer is new to me and I have never taken it out before at all! I may know better after the first couple trips ... just trying to prepare before the first trip so I don't run out of power in the middle of the night the last night or something.
I think your 2 6volts will have about 200 ah capacity, give or take. 10% recharge would be putting back 20ah per day. That 30 watt panel puts out 1.6 amps max. Say 8hrs in perfect conditions and you get about 12.8 ah charge, or closer to 5% of your capacity...in perfect conditions. Perhaps not enough to make much of a difference.
