As long as the specs are similar, any panel will work. I doubt that the existing wiring would work well for 400 watts so you will probably have to upgrade to heavier wire.

With the addition of a 100 watt panel on the roof and the portable would give you a total of 400 watts.
With each such purchase I read the reviews and question.
There is review for above panel by dober-man and he says is is getting 6 amp in full AZ sun with one time record of 8 amp.
Another buyer reported 2.8 amp
Bit disappointing for 200W.
Wonder if dober-man is a member here?
