Default Panels - portable vs mounted?

We replaced all the lights in our TM with LED's, including removing the bathroom light and replacing it with a fixture like the rest of the lights except it has 2 bulbs, which I install one bright bulb like the rest of the bulbs and a dimmer bulb for late night visits,

We just got our first solar panel, a 80W potable panel. I was not sure about portable vs perm. I finally decided on the portable since the only time I need it is when we are camping in the cold months. Where we normally can get 2-3 nights off a charge. But if in the future I want to mount the panels, I can because they are the same as the perm panels.

I would be interested in why you are mounting your panels? I think I had read one of your posts from several years ago about your portable panes and that influenced me a little. I think it was the flexibility to position the panels in the sun that made sense.
