Parallel is shade tolerant.
Your putting too much emphasis on the size of cables. The cable runs in a RV are short; perhaps 15 ft. The cost of bigger cables isn't significant.
You pay the piper somewhere. Go with higher voltage and charge controller efficiency drops.

Guess I just do not understand why anyone is using a MPPT controller with a nominal 12Vdc panels connected in parallel
I see/hear of many installations including AM solar installs with several 100% parallel connected 100 watt nominal 12Vdc panels (sometimes 600 watts or more) which include a MPPT controller, never have understood why.
Anyone know???????????
