While I agree that a framed solar panel mounted to the roof is a better way 
to go if you are looking at 50-300 watts of power, Unisolar offers a 
flexible panel up to 32 watts if you want to roll it out to keep the battery 
topped off and are using your 12 v. system in a miserly manner.  I keep a 5 
watt PulseTech Solargizer panel connected to my 2 Delco Voyager batteries 
all the time and it keeps the batteries topped off even when I have had the 
trailer parked for over a month at the hunting camp.  I don't use the water 
pump and I don't turn on more than 2 lights at a time.  I have run furnace 
several nights in a row and when I returned to the trailer 3 days later the 
batteries showed they were full.  The batteries are almost 3 years old at 
this time.  I purchased a 20 watt panel for extra flexibility.  I ultimate 
plan is to sell my 31' Excella 500, buy a mid 80's 25' Sovereign and add 
several 75 watt panels.
