Yes, the Goal Zero Boulder 100 Briefcase Solar Panel - 100 Watts, part # 287-32408, will work with your motorhome with the addition of the Goal Zero 10 Amp Solar Charge Controller with Battery Terminal Connections for Boulder Solar Panels, part # GZ79YR. Your solar panel will not hook directly to your batteries. It will connect to the charge controller. Having a multi-meter, part # PT89ZR, handy will make connecting your solar panel and charge controller easier.

Yes, the Go Power Overlander Solar Charging System with Digital Solar Controller - 190 Watt Solar Panel, part # 34282181, is compatible with your 3 battery bank with isolator. The Overlander comes with a more powerful Goal Zero charge controller. You will also have to use a thicker gauge wire for this solar panel. I have included a product description and a video demo link below.
