Portable solar panel config for Trillium 1300

Someone asked me to post setup on our Trillium 1300 for solar charging the deep cycle batteries... so here it goes..
Two stacked batteries wired in sequence and connected to an AC marine charger in the tongue box that run the fridge and lights.
Also directly cabled to the batteries is an 8.5 amp solar charge controller shown here:

The panel itself is 100 watts with same plug connectors from Canadian tire and has a simple plywood stand to hold it up:

Works great and panel and stand just slide back into box for travel and cables store in the tongue box....
