I have 120 watts mounted on the roof, but have the same problem with camping in the shade.
I have a 100 watt portable (from solar blvd) that I clip directly to the battery. By the time its in the sun and wired up, there is enough voltage drop that I have never had a problem. If the voltage got too high, I'd just disconnect. You could of course just make a connector to connect your portable into your existing controller.
I actually have connectors to tie into the battery, or to tie to a set of battery clips. Panel can then be lent out to friends if they are running low.
