Solar questions

We recently purchased a 2017 25' FCTF. We're thinking about buying portable solar panels to extend our dry camping. We've hear that Zamp 120 V pales are a good brand, we've also heard that GoPower is a good brand. We'll be using the panels with our Interstate batteries, which came with our trailer. We're interested in anyone's experience with portable solar panels, which brand did you like & which ones would you recommend, etc.
Also, what type of upgrades & improvements have owners done to there 25' FC?

We have zamp 160 watt portable. Been happy with it. Have used it occasionally over 3 years.

We have the Zamp 200W panel set and are very happy with it. The weakest point has been the stand is undersized but I believe they recently beefed it up and its much better.

We replaced the stock converter/charger with the PD4655, and the two shore power inlets with SmartPlug inlets. I hated the twist type that came with the AS.
