Portable solar charging.

Hi everyone. I'm considering buying a portable 150 W solar panel for my fifth wheel. Anybody have any recommendations or knowledge about the Bosch made solar panels?

I don't know of any bad solar panels, just bad deals with pricing. Check other brands to make sure you are not paying too much for what you are getting.
I have the Renogy 100w suitcase portable. It was a good start. From what I know now, I could have bought a 100w panel for $150, a charge controller for $20-30, made a stand out of PVC for $10, plus some cabling and been all set for around $200, minus the very nice case.

I say this is a good deal

Thanks for your input guys. I missed out on a Zamp 120w solar charger locally for $350. There's another guy locally selling a 200w one but for the "bend me over" price of $850. That's too rich for my blood. After some researching, I found A Bosch 150w foldable solar panel and charge controller for around $300. Too good of a deal to pass up in my opinion so I bought it. I should have less than $350 into it once it's all said and done.
