It would appear that you get a charge regulator with each panel. If you are buying 2 I would suggest as it is a 10 amp regulator (more than sufficient for 120 w panel which at best will probably not deliver more than 7 amps for a short period around mid day) that you wire the 2 panels via one regulator to your batteries. - Less weight to carry and store and you don't get the regulators "fighting each other" (one regulator switching off when a certain voltage has been reached even if the batteries are not yet fully charged).

I think that their usage table is maybe a bit ambitious - You could only run all those items for those lengths of time in perfect conditions i.e. sitting on the equator on a perfect cloudless day and getting 18hrs of daylight. We didn't get that in Lincolnshire on mid summers day!
