Unfortunately this is almost impossible to answer, especially with so little information.
There are a great many different solar panels out there to choose from.

Information that you need before you buy, especially if you want vehicle mounting is the physical size. You did not mention if you plan to mount this panel on a vehicle, how much space is on your roof will determine what size of panel or panels you can use.
You also need to figure out your electricity usage to work out how much PV power you would need.
Then you need to know if your panel choice will work with you existing charge controller if you have one, or to work out what charge controller to buy.
How big is your battery and what Voltage is it?

Victron have a range of solar panels to choose from: https://www.victronenergy.com/solar-pv-panels/bluesolar-panels

Maybe approach a RV or camping people to find out from them any information that may be more pertinent to your vehicle if you are planning to roof mount. There will almost certainly be someone who has mounted PV of the roof of a vehicle like yours, so they would know more about that sort of thing than people here.
