12 volt fridges
Looking at a trailer with a 12 volt fridge and solar panel mounted on the roof. not sure of the size of panel. My question is this. how can i tell if the panel is charging the battery?

While technically true, there's really no reason to worry about the 80% thing. The spec that all quality manufacturers (those that use grade A cells) state is that you can discharge their battery 100% and then recharge fully on a daily basis and still have 80% of the overall capacity left after 10+ years. So with this kind of service life, who cares about trying to keep them between 20~80%? Most of us wont use them that hard and can probably expect something more like 20 to 30 years of life.
I think that's a lifetime of camping for most of us and after that much time something better will have come along anyway.
