I basically did the same, but with my suburban, I have 200 watts on the suburban and 1 panel on the TM, I can plug into the TM and parallel the panels for 300 watts total with a charge controller mounted in each the TM and the suburban. Seems to work great and I can run our Keurig coffee maker and induction cooktop as well using a 2000 watt pure sine wave inverter. I did this because our last trip to Missouri, we stopped every night and had to remove the bikes off the bike rack open up the TM hook up a generator etc... So I removed the second and third row seating in the suburban since it us only the two of us and dogs I made it into a sleeper aka Campurban, we can even just take the campurban out when we don't want to pull the tm and have a nice place to sleep. Even installed a 12 volt dc fridge in the campurban, so no more buying ice.
