Thanks for the sources. I have a lot to learn about solar before getting something. I don't understand energy lingo so everything I'm reading feels like I'm reading a foreign language!

I think 15 watt trickle charger made by Battery Tender is what I'm looking for. I don't use appliances when camping, nor do I plan to. I just want to keep the batteries charged for the minor light use (all LED), power slide out, power jack and water pump.
Perhaps an example will help. My 2016 trailer pulls .8 an hour with the frig on and the normal parasitics. So .8X24=19.2 amp hours. That's no lights,heater,water pump,etc. A 15 watt panel "may" (but not likely) net 7 amp hours in a day (in the summer) so what does the math tell ya? Solar blvd sells a 100 watt panel for about the same price. It's a bang for your buck thing.
