Installing a solar system in a camper

Hi Folks

Been looking at the threads for regulators etc, and getting a little info overload, so thought I'd post a new one to see if that would help.

Basically I'm getting a Hi-ace Camper and want to run a standard camper fridge, car radio and some 12v lights of a 2nd battery - I'm thinking around a 100ah size - I'm intending on getting a single fold-up panel, around the 100-180w range, and a cheapish regulator under $100.

I've been looking at something like this which gives me space to upgrade amp wise:

Ideally I'm after a reg with a LCD which gives me info whats going on the system, and deals with the issue of overcharging etc. I'm a complete novice when it comes to such things, so please feel free to treat me like an idiot.
Any ideas, info, product recommends would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Luke
