Just saw that Renogy has the same stuff on eBay but for a little less, still with free shipping.
What would be the recommended length of cable for a portable set up? Would 20' suffice or would just go ahead and go longer right from the start?
With a portable panel set up and wired over the ground to the trailer, your problem is the trailer itself blocking the sun. It is all about your parking situation wrt South, and whether you can spot the panel out far enough without it being in the next guy's site. You might have to move the panel to the other side or the other end of the trailer part way through the day. You need lots of wire for the panel to trailer run for all occasions. Maybe a rule of thumb would be trailer length plus ten feet?
