Welcome to the forum.

There are many members using solar and many members from Canada. Who knows, maybe some Canadian members are using solar!

You will need to give us a few more details than that. What trailer do you have and what is your planned usage?
Do you need power to turn on a few lights and run your water pump or do you want power to make coffee each morning, watch TV in the evenings, charge your laptop and phones, run your furnace all night......?

Anything is possible!

This....

TM-KIT-CONTROLLER Kit includes TM-2030RV monitor, 20' Harness, 500mA Shunt, SC-2030 Controller & TS-2 - We Go Solar Canada

would be a very good start to a good solar system. You still need to add some panels, wiring and possibly batteries depending on what you have. You would need to use 12v nominal panels (typical 100 Watt panels).

If you have a large trailer and have the roof space then you are probably better off going with a residential panel (260-300watt) and an MPPT controller.

Many different ways to setup a solar system.

Are you planning to install it yourself?

Cheers
