These are old discontinued panels. Why discontinued? Because of overheating and inefficient output. 
There must have been thousands of them left in warehouses. They resurface every once in a while on Amazon and EBay.

Half the price of the semi flexible Lensun 100W panel I was looking at.
Seems like it might be a nice fit with an R-pod roof.

18 feet long.

I don't know near enough about what charge controller or battery setup would be needed to make this work, much less inverter?

It just seems like it might have a lot of potential. Both permanently mounted and loose in a roll that could be laid out on the back side of the trailer.  Over the R-dome?

I'm just scratching the surface on this solar stuff.
Just curious as heck, hoping someone has answers.

Cant get link to work to look at it.....
