Default Solar Vent solution?

I have a trailer that will be soon equipped with two 30W solar panels (60W total).
Primary goal is to recharge the glider battery.
However, given the size of my panels on the roof,
I believe that I could also maintain an extra SLA battery charged in
the trailer with a fan running at all times.

Thanks – Bastoune

Whatever you do, don't neglect the importance of a good solar
controller. If the controller you select doesn't have one on board, you
will also need an LVD (Low Voltage Disconnect) for the fan. It will
protect your battery from damage by disconnecting the fan if you get too
many cloudy days in a row.
