[Crabapple]

I see in the Canadian Tire flyer this week they have Coleman folding 40W panel with stand and 7A charge controller on for $124.99, reg 249.99
Have no idea if that's a good price or not I don't know anything about solar panels...just saying in case someone is interested.

I just bought two 30 watt panels off of eBay for $40 a piece delivered. I'm going to hinge them together and run a cord to my $30 controller that'll be in my tongue box. That $250 for 40 watts (even with the controller) certainly was a bit steep!

The same guy's got a 100 watt folding kit for $200 shipped:

What about a flexible solar panel? They are lightweight. May be easier to store. More spendy though.

Grape Solar small off grid solar panels has PhotoFlex panels with 15, 30, 50 or 100 watt capacities. The PhotoFlex-100W 100 watt panel weighs just 3 pounds and is 21.26" x 41.34" when unfolded.

It's listed for $299.99 from Grape Solar PhotoFlex 100W. Amazon.com has the 100 watt PhotoFlex for sale. Home Depot does too 100 watt PhotoFlex

If you are a Costco member you can order one from them through their custom order page. The Costco price may be lower. BTW Costco had a toll free number to Grape Solar 1-877-264-1014.

I called Grape Solar. The man I talked to said it works well permanently attached with 3M double sided tape to a small campers roof. Or you can set up the solar panel in a sunny spot nearby like you would with a folding solar panel. He said they have the 100 watt panels in stock now, with 50 watt panels expected to come in next week.
