I meant type not size. I haven't found necessary size yet ( @Mark Piercy noooo just no!) But I was thinking it looks simpler to use

That one is not up to the job for Scotland. The 100 watt one would be perfect.

I spent £90 on this and it was useless, but I suspect it has a faulty panel. The proper panel type are much better IMO.
Dealt with what appears to be Galvanic corrosion between the door handle & door skin of one door, very strange! I've never seen it before, the door skin around the handle entry points had been eaten away to dust and the plating on the plastic handle & lock cover has lifted in some areas and corroded away. A replacement handle was £71 and the lock cover was £18 - both painted, the etch primer & touch-up paint for the exposed metal I already had, so not too expensive a fix - just perplexing as to what caused it!

I'm guessing @gold rover means this from the one I posted. @gold rover The inverter is an additional bit of kit that gives you 240v off the battery, it's not required for charging.

Not a fan of anything electric that folds. A solid non flexible panel is best IMO.

My 20watt panels will stand on the dash or the rear parcel shelf for when the P38 is left in the airport parking. I always try to get the rear facing the sun as I have a dedicated socket in the boot for the panel.

my dad keeps a 'flexi' panel in his camper, so far no issues with it, but chose mainly for weight and size

Brilliant. That is the one I was referring to, and the answer I was looking for. Next question/comment. The ones that go to the cigarette lighter state to not use whilst driving. Does this type also have to have something removed before driving? Or can they stay connected with no adverse issues?

Otto's trailer socket appears to be wired in on crimped fittings in the right rear, below where the loom goes to the tailgate and driver side rear lamp connection. I've never needed to delve into the left trim yet.

I don't know, pure guess, but I'll bet the lack of electronics means you'll fry the panel, given time
