it wouldn't matter what brand portable, or "suitcase type" solar panel as long as it has a built in charge controller. I believe most portable brands use either an SAE plug or battery clips.

The solar connector on the side of the trailer is just 2-wire connector wired straight to the battery. It’s called a Furrion connector because Furrion makes a suitcase solar panel kit that includes the charge controller and has the mating connector pre wired to connect directly to the connector on the trailer. You can’t connect a solar panel directly to that connector or the battery, it will damage your battery and probably the solar panel too.

Mine has the zamp connector pre wired…They are reverse polarity of most other generic solar panels…I purchased a renogy 200 watt suitcase…it comes with a basic solar charge controller.

I purchased adapters on Amazon to reverse the polarity..just use a MM to verify how yours is wired if you go with something on Amazon
