I was originally thinking of using a portable for my second panel but I don't don't hang around camp during the day when I boondock and would not feel comfortable leaving a portable unattended

I thought this thread felt familiar. Dinnyberry please read post #4 on this thread. We have had dual solar on our 19 for 1-1/2 years now with no regrets spending the first cost dollars. We run the large 6.7 ft^3 fridge on 12v most of the time. The only change is we covered the cables on the roof with a cable cover as the red cable was getting pink due to uv.
We also use the solar to charge the battery for the electric motor on the little boat we take wit us.
Dual 6v and dual panels is a good choice!
