Well over $5 per rated watt, that is not any kind of a deal. And 10 watts will barely charge anything. Your RV will consume between 50 and 75 amp hours if you are VERY conservative with the lights, and other loads. I have seen a RV with a CPAP and it used more than the owner could put back with 4 each 100 watt solar panels!
10 watts is under 'ideal' conditions, and is basically less than 0.5 amps per hour, and you get about 5 'real' hours per day. So if the panel is rated at 7.5 amps per hour, you can expect about 37.5 amp hours daily. You will have about 7.5 amps flow from noon to 1 pm, and it will taper up to that amperage until 1 pm, then taper to less amperage after 1 pm until sunset.

Good luck!
