Suitcase makes sense only for the tiniest of systems.

I get more from my system in full shade that many of the portable systems. I also get charging in the rain. You also get charging as you travel. There is nothing to store, setup, or strike when making or breaking camp.

If it's solar ready the first question would be what size wire did they use. The wire size will determine how many amps it will carry.

What do you expect of solar? There is no bad amount of solar and people often want more after they have used it. People will often do an energy audit to size the battery/batteries and solar. Tell us more about how you travel and camp.

SWO Vette, I'll leave this here for a couple days if you don't get much help I'll move this discussion over to the Tech Issues forum.

Sorry, not much help here...in the same boat, looking at what to get. I will say that initially I was thinking mounted panels, however have done a bit of reading and advice is portable so you can keep them in the sun. Suitcase style seems to be the thing....if you don't mind I will follow along to see what others have to say....good luck.
