Hi,
A 270 watt panel will be massive. Where do you plan on putting it? Most rv's have a bunch of roof vents and A/C going down the center of it.
A lot of people get around lack of roof space by going multiple smaller panels. I have a MH and with limited roof space as well BUT multiple small panels won't fit. I have plenty of width for large panels but not enough length to do multiple small panels. I really only need one big panel to accomplish what I need though and that 270W at Solarblvd looks to be the largest that's not really expensive. I was going to go portable but took some measurements of my storage and a large portable won't fit. I'd have to get like 4 80W panels in order to fit in the large storage compartment. That's just too much of a mess for me so it's back to flat mounting on the roof.
Mark, your controllers are definitely high quality, we know this, it's just that some of us are cheapskates. :) I may end up buying yours anyways. $275 for the 20A isn't all that bad really.
EDIT: 20A would be right at the max for a 270W panel. Hmmm, might have to rethink that one.
