After much reading, I came up with a plan:
I bought a Renogy 100W Portable RV Kit, and will have two Crown CR-220 6V batteries installed in a 23" RVLockbox, that
will be mounted on the hitch in front of the t@b plastic propane tub. OK so far?
Renogy technical support politely refused to give advise on solar ports, probably because they won't recommend things they don't manufacture or sell.
There are several brands offered online. Is Zamp the best and/or only applicable option? If so, which Zamp port should I buy? If not, are there other ports to consider?
Can Zamp or other solar ports be used to connect a battery tender, so the battery box lid doesn't have to be left open?
Thanks for any and all advice!

As an FYI, I ha e ordered some cables and custom connections through https://powerwerx.com and they deliver really solid crimps and connections.

Keep in mind that moving two batteries forward on the tongue will raise your tongue weight. You'll possibly have to compensate with more weight toward the rear of the axle.
