I'd like to set up a portable solar panel (not roof mounted) that I can use to charge the battery when I'm camping off grid. Any suggestions?

I just bought a plug and adapted to my panel.this way you can buy any brand panel you want. I bought a renogy. www.renogy.com/100-watt-12-volt-monocrystalline-foldable-solar-suitcase-with-voyager/ MCNLINKO 2 Pin Power Industrial Circular Connector, Male Plug, Fit Furrion RV Solar Port, Outdoor Waterproof IP67, AC DC Signal, Fit Furrion, Grand Design, Forrest River RV Solar Ports www.amazon.com/dp/B01M4RQ3X1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_e5imFb0TQ9A5K

It works fine but found it much easier to clamp the solar panel leads directly to the battery (solar panel has a built in a controller).
