Haven't we already done this?
It's difficult to find the specs on that controller, but it's a pretty cheap one.
Yes, but at that time I had no clue what controller I had. Since I have dug out the documentation to find that out, I thought it was time for more specific information.
Here is all of the documentation that they provided with the controller: PVCM25D Solar Controller.
I am open to changing out the controller if someone will recommend a decent one. We are definitely part-timers, so we will either go 240 watts as 3 of the 80 watt panels in parallel, or 320 watts with 2 parallel sets of 2 panels in series.
I have contacted Airstream about their solar package, and they said:

The solar panel is made by a company called Zamp. Our part number for the solar panel is 513047-01, but you would have to order and get pricing from an authorized Airstream dealer. Zamp’s part number for the panel is USM1007.
However, looking at their website, I have my doubts that the dealer used the Airstream package. He may have bought a third party unit and installed it, hence the cheap controller.
