On a motorhome? If not, why not?

Just make sure you have the space on the roof and enough brackets to secure it.

I’m currently searching for 50mm x 50mm angle aluminium to fix them ( 2 ) down with.
What size Victron controller would I need to put 2 of these panels through?

You will need a 60 amp controller. It will work with the 50 amp as well, but, you will be clipping about 130-150w on full power.
So best is a 60 amp and wired in parallel.

Probably already mentioned..... Match the controller to the peak output. Domestic panels operate at higher voltage than the usual caravan/MH panels and should be capable of more amps....

I found out that cheapest was on Ebay. I bought 4 x 1.0m lengths for under £20 delivered when I was fitting two additional panels. Some suppliers will cut to specified lengths, but that would cost more.
