Welcome to the forum. Lots of useful info on this forum.

I think in 2019 Thor prewired most coaches and included a 10 amp GO POWER PWM Solar controller.

If thats the case your are limited to around 100 watts (Perhaps 150 watts? 10 amps total input) max unless you replace your controller. I think some have pushed 200 watts with the OEM system but im not sure how successful they were.

You may know this but I thought I would mention it.

I think most agree a flexable panels can be secured with Eternabond tape just fine. But the rigid panels some say they can glue it down (with special Calk type stuff) other say Screw it down to be safe. Im on the fence on this one.
