I like those panels!
I do not like the weight of rigid panels even though that is what I am using (4 x 270watt x 50lb each).
I would have some concern over heat, as there is no way for air to circulate on the back side of the panel, but then again, with an aluminum roof, perhaps the whole camper acts like a heat sink (solar cell efficiency drops with increase in temperature).
Looks more durable than the rigid panels though and you don't have to worry about glass cracking.
