If you are wanting to power the MaxxFan Deluxe Roof Vent w/ 12V Fan # MA00-05100K from your trailer battery that is being charged by solar panels, I recommend taking a look at the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger # 331-BCDC1225D. This is a great DC-to-DC, 25 amp battery charger that features dual-input that allows you to connect it to solar panels. When connected in this manner, this particular charger will automatically draw power from the panels before tapping into the vehicle power source. This will let you use the solar panels during the day for as long as they are providing enough power to charge the battery.
I have attached a couple short video demonstrations on this product so you can see exactly how it works.
