Not familiar with the 2030 settings. I have my Morningstar set for 14.8 volts absorb voltage with temp compensation set at 3 mv per deg C.
For the 105's it should be similar.
On another point with the 105's; the 200 watts is about a 5% ROC which is the minimum you want to use. It will be fine if you use about 10% of capacity per day from the batteries but will be slow to recover if you get to the 50% SOC.
When starting from 50% SOC the recommended ROC is 10 to 13% which is about 400 watts of panel.
As with most things these are suggested starting points.
While we don't have the Trojans we got along fine with 500 watts while dry camping from the 2nd week in May until the 3rd week in Sept this year.
The last week on Sept and first week of Oct was full shade with maybe 10 amps from the panels for 15 minutes. This required lots of jenny run time.
