No idea I'm afraid, but if you stick a few pictures of the controller on here, and try and find the specs for the van and solar, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will comment.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

If you have a display that shows the voltage of the batteries, then if the voltage is higher than 13.0V something is charging the battery. If the mains hookup is not connected and the engine is not running then presumably it must be the solar charging. If it's about 13.5V then probably the battery is full and the solar isn't putting much charge into it. If the voltage is about 14.5V then the battery is not full and is being actively charged by the solar.

If you have a display that shows the battery amps, then if you switch off all 12V items, the amps shown will be the amps coming from the solar controller.
