Here's one that is about 2' x 4' but its only puts out about 80 watts or 6 amps of power.
But it's a little pricy at $525

The husband and I have had this model on our 19 ft. pull behind for 8 years with no problems. We can be out for a week and not run short of power. We use it to power the lights, pump and stereo. As long as were smart about our usage and don't forget to turn off a light we do just fine.

My sister and I have taken it on week long trips to Rockin' the Hills, a North Dakota outdoor rock fest and depended on just the solar panel. While other people were starting their vehicles to recharge their batteries we were just fine.

So I'm sure a panel like this would be more than fine for a teardrop.

Where did you get it? We didn't get it, we built it!

HF has a 5 watt for 24.99 right now. A few of these may fit the bill.
