Hey everyone! I'm trying to find a good portable solar panel setup for my RV. I have an exterior plug that can handle up to 240 watts, and I'm aiming for a 200-watt portable solar panel along with an extension cord. However, there are so many brands and prices out there that I'm getting overwhelmed! Could you guys help guide me towards some good options?

It’s important to know what appliances you plan on powering with the solar setup. If you can share that info, it will make it easier for us to recommend something suitable! Also, if you could post a picture of the plug, that could help a lot too.
When looking for a solar panel, check the specs of your solar charge controller as well. You definitely want to know its max VoC (open circuit voltage) and the ampacity of the wiring, so you don’t risk overheating anything. Also, a picture of the plug would be really useful.
You might want to look at the compatibility of your existing setup with different solar panels. Here's a picture of my plug setup in case it helps in your decision-making!
I appreciate the help! I've added some photos of my setup too; I hope it clarifies things!
