Question:
Would just one of these work for a camper van? It had a small kitchenette as well. Thanks!

Hey Joy, yes the Optimate Solar Duo kit part # MA49JR would work on a camper van but whether or not it would work well is goin to be based on the power needs of your setup. This is a 10 watt setup which means it's not going to put a big charge on the van battery. 10 watts is equal to .83 amps in ideal sun conditions.
A 100 watt system like the Go Power part # 34272635 is probably more in line with what you'd need. This would put a much more significant charge on the battery setup of your van.
