I have a 95 watt panel (which does not have a disconnect switch) on the roof that feeds a GoPower 30 amp controller. I added a 160 watt portable panel from Solar Blvd that I temporarily connected through the trailer 7 pin connector.
Multiple charging sources create no issues. So even with your two solar connections you can also start the van and not worry about the alternator. Then start the generator and no worries on the converter either. Have a portable charger too? Just slap it on top.

I am a woman and afraid of electricity and batteries so I don't think I would attempt it myself. They will charge me $800.00 for the install which to me was an OK price. Thanks for your advice though.

Just as a fer instance. I bought my trailer in June, if I had bought the factory installed roof flat mounted 160w panel which comes with a 30A Go Power controller, the price is/was $850. They were doing 95W panels till 6 months ago, for the same price. Lynn's price doesn't sound out of whack to me, for a manufacturers install. She did say Pleasureway was doing the job.
Your other option is get a price from a 3rd party installer if there are any in your area.
No. Her other option is to get a 100w panel from a "real" solar dealer for less than $200 and tack it onto her existing portable in parallel. If the controller she has now is not "big" enough, she can get another or use two.
