That will work just fine and you will be able to track the sun for maximum efficiency. Some controllers need the panels disconnected from the controller before disconnecting from the battery. Maybe you could use an anderson connector to connect the panels to the controller and have a quick easy way to disconnect.
Distance and conductor size influence resistance so pay attention to length vs amperage charts when selecting wire. Being on the bigger side reduces voltage drop .
Pretty big difference in leaning the panels against the van or placing them 30 feet away.
