There are lots of good threads here if you search on solar, but the pre-wired setup on the Roo is just wiring. Its designed to work with Zamp portable kits. The Zamp kit has a charge controller built in. The downside to the Zamp is they are very pricey. You can find individual pieces or a kit from other places for less $$. If you want to use the pre-wired plug on the trailer you can find the special connectors on eBay or Amazon.
I have two 100 watt portable panels and a charge controller mounted in the front pass through. Works really well - as long as we find a spot that's not completely covered by trees!

Happy Camping

Solar is not the way to run AC. If you dry camp, get a nice generator.
