Flexible roll-out 136w Solar Cell Deal
Saw this on Amazon.. Killer deal on a flexible, frameless solar panel. Literally peel and stick. Controller not included, you need a good MPPT controller to drop the voltage and up the amperage. A...

I was lucky enough to pick up 2x of the 12V 68W "peal and stick" panels for my 2014 NL. (installed spring 2014)
With a MPPT controller, they are awesome off angle/ambient light collectors, obviously sit flat on the roof and as an added bonus - no mounting holes.
The only downside is that the tar/glue that is used will be a ginormous PITA to get the things off if you ever wanted/needed to. I figured when/if they ever fail I'll simply mount something over the top of them - they are the lightest 68w panels available so I don't really care about the extra weight.
If you have room to unroll and stick the longer one's on your roof (would seem optimum for a TT, MH or 5er) I'd say do it, since they lay flat no added wind resistance or tall catch points to catch overhanging trees.
Its been less than a year and we've only dry camped a few times however the 2x68w with MPPT has kept our single #27 deep cycle topped off enough for us on weekend trips. So far we're very pleased.
