To charge the batteries in your camper with the 2-pin connection, no type of converter is needed, just a solar controller. And the controller is something that is included with the portable solar kits, for which there are three different options, with different solar panel wattage.
The best option will depend on the amount of power you need; the higher the solar panel watts, the more power it will store. So you can choose from any of the following three:
- 90 Watt Solar Panel - Go Power... view full answer...

I do have options for you but you will either be drilling into the roof to attach the roof rack or drilling into the roof to attach the solar panels. There are no drill free options for the roof but if the panels are installed properly there will be no leaks to worry about. It's not like you're drilling all the way through anyway. The only way around this is with portable solar panels which you would setup outside the trailer each time. I am not sure how much solar you need but for a portable... view full answer...
