Solar Panel question?

Have you seen the poster that has his panel mounted on the side of his RV. He can leave the as is, tilt them on hinges or take them off and use them as portables.

My only worry about combining before the controller would be if the mounted panel was in the shade and if it could affect the portables output.

I was seriously considering mounting a portable on the side of my MH (and still may) but it seemed like it would be easier to see and steal there. Also for now the DW doesn't like the idea.

Just a question from a newbie but don't the solar panels have diodes in the output that would prevent the degradation of one panel affecting the other?
