I recently purchased a used R-Pod 177. I already own a Jackery 1000 v2 that we've used to power appliances in our home during outages and that I've used while car camping (in a tent, not the R-Pod). I'd like to incorporate the Jackery and a solar panel or two into the R-Pod's electrical system, but I don't know the best way to go about it. Of course, I want to still be able to lift out the Jackery and take it into the house when needed.
Some of the initial questions I have are:

Some of the initial questions I have are:
- Since the Jackery already has a built-in charge controller, can I just take an empty 15 amp 12 volt fuse position from my WFCO Ultra III Distribution Center (stock model WF-8955PEC) and route it to the Jackery input to allow it to charge from the 7-pin connector on my pickup when hauling?
- How do I incorporate the 12 volt output from the Jackery into the camper's existing 12 volt system? I want to extend the overall 12 volt capacity of the camper. This is probably the most important question I need answered.
- What's the best way to route wiring from the solar panel(s) to the Jackery?
