Wouldn't touch an ETFE panel with a barge pole unless it absolutely has to be that light and flexible. A bad ETFE panel will be trash in 18 months and most good ones last only a few years. If you are sticking it on a RV roof just a proper rigid panel, even a second hand one. Unless you crash the RV it'll be working just fine ten years on, and even if you do it'll probably be fine.

Given their own FAQ on the panel says the even bird poop can burn it up in extreme circumstances and there are no proudly displayed multi-year guarantees draw your own conclusions.

"If shading is caused in one of the cells, for example, by leaves or bird droppings, it will inhibit the cell’s function to generate electricity. Moreover, this cell becomes a load consuming the power generated by other cells. As a result, the shadowed cell consumes a lot of power, thus causing hotspots or even burning the product in serious cases"

points for honesty there however in letting you know your $500 solar panel can be killed by a passing bird turd if you are not paying attention.

Any solar panel is fine as long as it's within the voltage limitations of the power station.
