That equipt/NL monitor is an awful lot for a glorified low resolution volt meter. You can either get a much nicer and more useful voltmeter for about the same price:

Or a much cheaper unit:

Don't be suckered by 'exposexuality'.

Oh but i am suckered! I liked the alarm feature on the NL. Also showed charging status. I know it doesn't show quite the accuracy but don't you think those 2 added fearures are nice? $45 is relatively inexpensive unless its inaccurate. I did see this fishing around on your link.

I suggest that you determine your electrical usage based on what you want in your trailer. This will help you properly design your electrical system. I spent months on my electrical design making sure I got what I wanted out of the system based on my camping style and system limitations. Such as I mostly camp out west which has lots of sun time. The design must take into consideration lots of factors and will have limitations. I have an off-road tear drop that is 12v only. My design includes a 125 amp hour battery, 2-100 watt Renolgy solar panels with Bogart Engineering Solar charger and battery monitor. It’s powers interior/exterior lights, frig, water pump w/propane water heater. I have had it for almost two years and it works great.

How do you like the renolgy panels?( are they mounted or mobile) What 125 amp hr batt did you go with? pics please.

The panels have worked perfectly. They are mounted and I purchased a discovery battery. I have a battery holder that can accept 2 6v batts if I need additional amp hours in the future. I have not updated my pictures in some time but you can see my build pics @ https://bigg.smugmug.com/Teardrop/. I will try to add a few final build pics.
