The most recommended setup I see from other vandwellers in Renogy. They make pretty much everything you need, and it's competitively priced.
You can buy a kit and have almost everything you need but a battery or you can build from scratch. The big components are deep cycle battery, panel, charge controller. There are obviously lots of other smaller things you'll need as well such as fuses, wires, mounting brackets, etc.
This option is much more cost efficient but also requires a good working knowledge of electrical setups (or the desire to learn them) in order to do it safely.

Its not cheap or in Australia, but it works well. I am not sure what you mean by temp control? I have heard that a lot of the cheap MPPT charge controllers are not actually MPPT so becareful with that.
In order to do a fully stand alone system you need to make two changes;
-replace the 10 amp charge controller with as many of these 40 models in parallel as needed to achieve the desired amperage. for an s9 2 should do it;

Solar panels will hook to the charge controller unlike in the DC power supply only scenario. DC timer is programmed to start miners in the morning once there is normally good charging and off in the evening as you start to lose good charging conditions.
