The OP does NOT have an electric fridge. His solar needs are not mission
critical. Even if he did, it all depends on how the vehicle is being
used. Some people like the OP want a panel that fits hidden inside the
luggage rack and that is what I was addressing. Here is another source
for a single 60 watt panel that by its listed dimensions will fit down
inside the front luggage rack.

I have been running 2 Vanagon campers with electric only fridges for
years, without solar, without charging from 110v, just on alternator DC
charging for trips of weeks and months. Solar is icing on the cake at
times and I have it for when I need it, rare as that is for me. I have 3
batteries in each camper, with well configured alternator charging and
that is the key. The solar is nice for keeping things topped up when the
vans are just sitting and for extending the battery life by a few days
but I can stop for 2-3 nights just on battery of 120ah.
