Getting there!
Our MH came with a fold out solar kit which has one connector for the cab battery and one for the leisure batteries that can only be connected one at a time (so I’m told) See pics.

If I wanted to fit a small solar panel on the roof would any of the kit I have be useable or am I better off starting from scratch, connecting to just the leisure and fitting a battery master alongside to take care of the cab battery?

Open to other suggestions and recommendations.

Absolute beginners.
If the vans a keeper, start anew with quality panel, an MPPT controller, and some decent size wire future proofing for an additional panel. Keep the folder to put out when required, but the faff of that might wear thin quite quickly.
Mike.
