Design and build your own. Not only will it be significantly less expensive but actually works because everything is made to work with each other. Every kit I have ever seen has grossly undersized batteries, and it is done on purpose. They do it to hook you like a fish.
They do it to keep the initial price down, way down to get you to buy. Once you discover the batteries are way to small, they gig you with additional batteries. The customer falls for it hook line and sinker.
It is a lot like Crack Cocaine or Heroin dealers. They sell you some dope real cheap at first or even give it away to get you hooked. Once you are in and hooked, they have a customer for life.

Kit vs. Build Your Own Solar System For a Pop-up Camper
I recently purchased a smaller pop up camper. I'm looking for a solar system for those times i do not have power. Mostly it will run 1 or 2 LED lights, and keep a laptop and phone charged. The fridge and stove run on propane. I know little about solar and see complete systems for sale. My question is, is it best to buy a preassembled kit, or build your own? What would I be looking for in a good kit or to build a good solar system for my requirements? Can you also charge the solar batteries from your vehicle if needed?
Thanks!
