I been looking into a small solar system for my RV.
Why did you desided on "500 watts"? Are you going to add two more batteries anytime soon? 500 watts is overkill for just two batteries.
200 watts should be fine (you can always add more later esp if you add two more 6V batteries).
Your WFCO converter chargers if fine so you dont have to mess with that.
So really all you need is like TWO (or more?) solar panels on your roof, wired down to a fuse/curcuit breaker then to a Solar contoler (PWM or MPPT) then another fuse / Curcuit breaker then wired to the batteries. I might have simplifed it some but basicly that all you have. You could add some sort of blue tooth monitor and/or inside displays and a battery temp probe.
So first you need decide how big of a system you "need" or "Want" and how many batteries you want to charge, then decided on which solar controller (I like MPPT the best) then how many bells and whistles you want.
Plus how much money you want to spend and if you can install your self or if you know of some buddies that can help you OR find a local company that install solar by you (Perhaps the local RV dealer if you trust them).
