Solar/battery system question

all lights run on 12v i also have some 12v points in the van so i was running the tv satelite decoder box & 12v dvd player. So thats where the 4.4 a discharge was comming from the 4.4 a is from a screen inside the van that showes volsts,amp chard discharge & ah remaining & % remaining
The amps in is comming from a solar regulator in the boot of the van
i turned the 240v back on just on sundown as the panels wouldnt work then anyway & the battery dischage just kept draining the batteries
tell me if u want more info & what
thanks in advance warren

hot water system is gas only
wires go straight to the batteries from the solar regulator

Quick Addition:

The energy budget is now something like this:

The 3 appliances themselves use 864 Watt-hours in the day.

Solar cells (80W) replace about 50 Watt-hours in the day

As you can see there is a huge deficit here if solar cells were the only charging source.

Suggestion:

Christie Engineering make amazingly good 12V chargers - small petrol driven ones.

Jeremy,
The way a Solar panel works is charge a battery that is close to full, because you drove to where you will be camping anyway, the battery will be fully charged when you arrive at the camp site.
Then the solar takes over when you stop, the panel puts out about 5 Amps (80 watt) if required by the battery, at the same time the fridge is using about 6 Amps, running on a 50% duty cycle so when it stops the panel makes up the 1 Amp lost from the battery till the fridge restarts again.
So at the end of the day the battery is close to fully charged and able to run the fridge and lights etc all night, then it starts again to recharge the battery again next morning.

If it's in a cool climate the fridge won’t be using so much power anyway and the solar system won't have any hassles if it has been correctly specified for the accessories you have.

This photo shows a Steca regulator LCD screen with a charge/discharge Ammeter and battery voltage gauge underneath, showing the fridge is drawing ~8 Amps and battery is still 13.1 Volts
When the fridge stops, as it does every 20 mins, the entire 4.9 Amps will again charge the 13.1v battery system back up to the 13.8v trickle charge rate.

dvd/radio, tv and satelite box all run on 12v
fridge is a 3 way auto demetic one so runs on gas when stopped
the whole van was already set up for 12v use i just had the solar panels added
