Solar Idea
I would like to add solar but I try to park in the shade so a roof mount system wouldn't work. However my toad is seldom parked in the shade. Would the following idea be feasible. I can mount 3 100...

200 porta watts in series, controller in the RV, park toad anywhere you want, don't sweat a little voltage drop.
...and with a simple lock for that hitch pin, it can be made (more-less) theft-proof.
The OP point has been missed here - he wants to park his RV in shade. Keeping it in shade, while keeping the back out in the sun could be difficult. Has to be parked with back facing South, and without trees/palapa getting in the way.
There will be no voltage drop problem with panels on toad and controller with batteries in RV. Most panels on RV roof have 20-40ft cable run to controller. No problem with 200W PWM 12V, and no problem with 500-700W MPPT 24V.
