I might suggest two batteries, but it depends on your power needs and the amount of solar where you go. In the east with lots of trees it can be difficult to get sun in the summer, for example. Another choice is solar panels: permanently mounted or portable. Each has advantages and disadvantages. Finally, consider a DC-to-DC charger if you’d want to charge when driving.

I run my fridge and also trailer lights as needed. I ordered a REDARC dc to dc charger and have a portable 200w solar panel with charge controller.
