I recommend larger 24 volt home panels in series. Find some local surplus as shipping is expensive for these oversize items.
Shop by price per watt as these are just a commodity and will perform fine and out last the RV.
Those 24V panels WILL need a MPPT type of solar charge controller, more expensive than non-MPPT.
The only "advantage" to 24V panels and MPPT controller is you can use light ga wire from panels to controller..
You can also run "12V" panels in series but in reality not really much advantage..
