PNW Steve,
If there is room, just expand the solar harvest by adding another panel.
If you really "must" have charging from a tow vehicle, add an inverter and run a 120 volt cord to the RV.
I had planned on two 300 watt panels on my 5er but the roof is crowded with roof vents, plumbing vents, roof air and TV antenna. I only managed to fit one.
My new to me rig is getting 1800 watts of panels and either four L-16's or eight GC-2's. I lean strongly towards the L-16's until I look at the price. The GC-2's are 40% cheaper and will give me about 10% more capacity. I just hate parallel strings.
I like the inverter in the tow vehicle idea. If I planned on keeping my current 5er I would do that. The 5er and the Chevy 2500 that I bought to tow it with are for sale as a package.
I am going to a class A of sorts. I have a 40' Bluebird that is getting 1800 watts on the roof.
