Van Leisure Battery Charging

Looking for some advice for charging leisure batteries running fridges in hot weather.

We have a new110amp leisure battery charged via the van when driving and a 200w solar panel. We also have a ring 8A charge and maintain charger for when we're on EHU on site.

When the weather is cooler it seems to work ok I.e. in the UK, or parked up on the drive. (Running just on solar). However it struggles when we're on road trips in Europe.amd the temperature rises above 30 Celsius,

Does anyone have a similar set up to this?

Would you use both solar and EHU together?

Our fridge is a THQ50 Apicool Fridge Freezer, we have it set to the lowest setting (1 of 3). Have been trying to run it on solar during the day and topping up with EHU at night, not working as by the afternoon we're getting an F1 fault and the battery is dropping below 11.2v.

Any help appreciated just want to understand the best way to manage it and keep the boss's Rosè cool!

Thanks.
