Where is best location for solar controller
I'm putting together a new solar system for use with my Class C. I had a Renogy 100W solar suitcase which I had extended with a second 100W panel... this worked great until it was stolen this week :(...

Single 24V is easier to install on the roof than 2*100W, but in a portable this will be more pain yet than 2*100W. You don't want to handle 5x3ft sheet that weighs 40 lbs.
2*100W is not something that I would want to handle, either. But I'm mostly parked in the open, so my panels are on the roof.
OP here ... I'm not thrilled about lugging around 100W panels, but they're more awkward than heavy. About 16 pounds each. I often camp in an area with mixed sun and shade, which would make roof mounting less desirable. Fortunately, the 100W panels stow easily in the over-cab space in my Class C.
