Combining Hiker Trailer Solar, Battery, and Goal Zero Power

[gswm48]

I got a killer deal on a barely used Hiker Trailer 5x10 Midrange XL and I'm trying to get the electrical system combined.

The system has the following:
Rooftop solar panel unknown brand & Victron PWM Charge Controller - Not currently connected to anything

Power Queen 100AH 12v battery - Not currently connected to anything
GoalZero Yeti 1500x Powerbank in rear galley - powered by shore power coming from the front workbox
Power strip in rear galley plugged in GZ - powering everything in the trailer (Lights, 2 edison extension cords for workbox and inside trailer power + fridge in front workbox)
Rear Drivers Side SAE port - Connected to 8mm barrel input on GZ for future portable solar panel
Rear Drivers Side Male Edison - 2nd Shore Power connection run to galley 20amp breaker for future roof mounted A/C unit

I would like to tie the entire system together so that the rooftop solar ultimately charges the Power Queen & GZ and the trailer draws from both

I don't see myself ever adding a rooftop A/C unit. I'd leave this alone unless there's something cool/useful I could do with it.

My vehicle isn't currently wired to charge the trailer and I'm not planning on adding that at the moment although I could in the future.

Does this possible wiring diagram seem correct to get everything tied together? Am I missing anything or is there a better way to do this?

This Sprinter blog post explains how they used the Orion DC-DC to correct the voltage to charge the GZ.

Goal Zero Yeti Car Link Alternative

We show you multiple ways how to charge the Goal Zero Yeti using a Victron Orion Smart-TR DC to DC Converter, using Lenovo chargers, using an inverter.

I didn't stare at it for long, but what caught my eye was running your CPAP on AC.

It's a DC device, and that black box in the cord is a converter. Thus with your plan, you'll be changing DC voltage to AC and back to DC. About a 20% waste of energy.

Get a 12 volt cable for the CPAP.

But... back to your question: Does your suitcase solar have a controller?

Thanks Tony. I didn't even know that existed for the cpap.

Sorry, the suitcase solar is just a hypothetical right now. The previous owner had the trailer pre-wired for this option but hadn't purchased the panel. I don't think I really need it at this point but since it's already wired, I could add one if I'm parking in the shade and need to get a solar panel in the sun or want to add additional panels for a longer off-grid situation.

So your 'powerstrip' at the bottom is that 120 volts?

Yes, the power strip is a standard 120v powerstrip, wired by Hiker Trailer

Yes, the power strip is a standard 120v powerstrip,

So your lights and refrigerator are 120 volts?
