I ordered my TrailManor with the solar controller and wires installed, but no solar panel. I ordered the 100w panel from WindyNation. Usually recharged daily, but got into a week of rain and overcast. Never ran too low, but didn't fully-charge our 220Ah batteries. So, I installed a second 100w panel. Now, now problem getting batteries back to full daily.
Cheaper to get the panels yourself (and wires and controller, if what the factory offers is not good, or they won't wire-with-no-panels), and easy to install, at least on my TrailManor (hard roof, used 3m VHB tape, and drilled no holes in the roof).
