Thank you for the responses. I decided to go ahead an purchase the Renogy Eclipse 100W suitcase, which actually arrived today. Regarding its weight, I don't find it that heavy to move at just over 20 pounds with the controller. I know the older model is listed at just over 27 pounds with the controller, so perhaps that would be a little more of a pain? Anyway, I set it up in the driveway to check it out and it looks nice with everything working. However, it was a cloudy day and my battery was already fully charged from being on my Battery Tender. I look forward to spring weather when I can actually test it out at a campsite!
