Take a closer look at the specifications on the web site .........
Most (there are a very few exceptions) RV's operate with a 12 Volt house battery bank very few with a 24 Volt battery bank - I assume you have a 12 Volt battery bank, if so 600watts of solar array is the MAX Morningstar recommends for the 45 amp controller. Now if you have a 24 Volt or maybe a 48 Volt house battery bank then go for 1,200 or even 2,400 watt PV array.
The specification is for the battery voltage **NOT** the PV array voltage which can be as high as 150 Volts or even 600 Volts on the Morningstar MPPT controllers.
