A lot of the answer to this question depends on the size of your battery bank and the style of camping you do. If you've got a 2 battery bank with around 200aH of power and generally use about 40 aH of power then something like the Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller - 190 Watt Solar Panel # 34282181 is a good choice that can be mounted to your roof. You could also piece together a few of the Furrion # FR53FR panels you were looking at for a similar setup.
I've attached some helpful articles that talk more about how to choose the right solar panel system, and an installation and review video of the Overlander system for you to check out. If you can let me know a bit more about your power usage and battery bank I can help you locate a system that will fit your needs if the one I mentioned won't.
