I have the 320 solar and 2 110 Battleborns. Is Starlink pretty much plug and play and is there any trick to get power to it. Thanks.

Starlink is plug & play but you need a 120V power source, either an inverter or one of those portable battery/inverter combos. Some RVers have determined it to use ~ 1kWh per 24 hrs. Obviously you can reduce that by only running for a few hours a day.One limitation is that the "dishy" needs a clear view of the northern sky which may not be possible in wooded campgrounds etc.

A 12V power option just became available:
Easy Plug And Play 12V DC Power Supply For Starlink Roam - Starlink Hardware
I have all the components and will be putting it all together once it gets below 115 degrees here in Phoenix.
Here is my previous post regarding making that unusual connection work on an RV:

Hope this helps.

There are creative solutions to avoid using an inverter but the OP asked about "plug & play"...
