We're shortly heading off on our 2nd ever trip in our caravan and we're going to a site with no EHU (not really by choice but because we travel to dog flyball comps)... we have therefore bought a solar panel kit to provide some power. Can this be connected to the battery whilst the battery is still connected to the van so that we get continuous power, or does it have to be disconnected? I'm struggling to find any clear instructions.

Thanks in advance!

I use a 80 watt panel and it has all necessary on back of panel so I just connect to battery using crockadil clips. Word of warning, make sure crock clips or connectors are insulated as when panel is opened up it starts to input voltage.
