Before looking for deals, usually you try to figure out how much solar you need. :)
BTW, there is a lot about RV solar to learn, so you can read forever or get an initial "learner set" and then go from there over the years.
If you start with a big panel and MPPT you cannot add a little more solar later but only a lot more with another big panel. 24s and 12s don't mix.
If you start with a 12v panel and PWM, you can add more 12v panels and then choose to stay 12v in parallel with PWM or put them in series as 24 or more and go MPPT.
