I have put 2 x 200 watt solar panels on the roof of my canopy connected back to the vehicle via a Redarc 1240 DC-DC charger.
On the camper I have a 40 watt on the roof and a fold out 160w, both connected back to the battery via a Ctek s250 dual.
I am running an ARB 45 litre fridge in the camper and a Waeco CF50 in the ute.
Single 100ah in the camper and 2 100ah in the ute.
Have joined the 2 DC-DC chargers back to the main battery & alternator via 4 guage wire.
Fridges always cold and batteries always charged. Have managed so far never to need a generator... Touch wood

Rainsey, that is a good little setup you have there. It is just a big of a shame in my opinion that the T-van doesn't have much more roof space for a larger solar panel up top.
Between Patrols ATM. Had a beaut GU with 6.5 Chev TD. Next is a GU ute with a 4.5 litre Cummins conversion and a camper on the back.
