In full sunlight I should be able to produce around 60amps.
60 amps? Don’t think you’ll be able to get 60 amps unless you get a bigger coach with a bigger roof Assuming you can generate 1200 watts that would give you a max of 10 amps. The average 4x5’ panel gives you about 265 watts, or about 13 watts per sq/ft, multiply that times the number of panels you can mount. Remember these numbers are in full sun. Not trying to burst your bubble just don’t want someone to try to sell you something that can’t do what want.
