Rob, Robmac used 2X 440W ish on his van. I asked a friend who's a solar installer about them precisely because they looked so cheap, he told me their prices were pretty much the going rate for domestic panels now.
I'm looking at juggling my existing panels around and fitting an additional 500W jobbie on my PVC, can't see any good reason to pay through the nose for smaller MH specific ones. Several members have had domestic panels installed for years without any issues.

500w💩

To take advantage of these panels, a gpod MPPT regulator is required. I have 405w on my van which was the maximum size I could fit. Today I could get a 600w with the same size but my regulator can only handle 480w. Until now I haven't felt the need to change. I can park and use what I need without having to hook up external power.

2 x 425W on mine Merl, but close enough.

Really pleased with them, I picked them up rather than having them delivered from Peterborough. They were very helpful at City Plumbing and helped me get them into the van. Turned out that I knew the brother of the chap who served me.

Like Chris - @edina, I too have mine mounted on Unistrut bars.
