My solar panels, and I have had many over 5 campers, put out about 18 volts each...."
NO they didn't! (except if you had MPPT and it was in Bulk) Your basic 12v panel has a Voc of about 22 volts and operates at battery voltage (12-15 volts) with a PWM controller.
It could have a Vmp of about 18 volts, which it will be set at by an MPPT controller during its Bulk stage. Vmp has nothing whatever to do with operating using a PWM controller.
See the set of IV curves for any 12v panel.
