I agree, Thank you Kendall for this thread. Without it and other threads like it I would have never ordered LEDs for the trailer.
I'm extremely happy with the cheap panels I bought. As bright as the originals and the color is very close. I don't charge at night so I am hoping I wont see any heat issues. Should the tape start giving I'll just put a tiny screw in the reflector plate to hold them up.

Thank you also for our earlier discussion too. It has taken me into a different direction than just running the Champ every day. Beside replacing the lights with LEDs I am also doubling the battery bank and have 450w of panel waiting to go up on the roof. ( boy did I get lucky with those) After buying the Rogue and bits I need to install, I should be right at the $500 mark you said I should spend on solar.
Not only will I be able to use the lights and furnace again, the poor old Champion will be lonely. :)
