24 volt solar panel recommendations?
Is this panel decent? Or is there reason to buy one of the slightly more expensive panels from Solar Blvd? Friend has Blue Sky controller capable of using the 24 volt panels. https://www.solarbl...

It could be the 24VDC Solar Panel DC OUTPUTS work better with SOLAR CONTROLLER but to me the final DC output going to the RV Battery setup should remain at 12VDC so that you can utilize all of the working elements the RV TRAILERS has to use.
The OP has indicated the trailer system remains at 12v. If you want a '24v system' however, then you need a DC/DC converter with enough amps to handle the jacks and slides. I have one, and the nice thing about that is I can set the trailer to 12.5v, and it never fluctuates due to battery charging or equalizing.
As for buying stuff on the cheap, I rarely do that because it just doesn't work for me. They have to cut costs somewhere - diodes, weather-proofing, frame.. something.
