I am looking to buy some portable panels to use at overnight stays while traveling. Just seeing if anyone can give me some insight on brands that they like or ones to stay away from. Thanks in advance!

I've used electrical tape with push in posts and have the Carri Lite brand.
Electrical Tape - prly my first choice when I can push the stakes in. I have a battery operated charger that needs to be turned on. Inexpensive
Carri Lite - Expensive, but they are nice when I can't push stakes in. Super easy to set up. My gelding will push on them though, so because of this I will use the hot wire whenever I can.

I have the carri lite. I love mine the fit in the first stall of my trailer extended and you can collapse them down much smaller too. They set up quick and my horse stays in them no problem.

Do you stabilize yours with stakes? My gelding rubs his chest on them and/or will roll and this uproots them and they've collapsed! I don't know how to get around it!
I don't, I just set them up and luckily mine just stands in the middle and doesn't bother them. They came with brackets you can hook to side of trailer to make a bigger and I'd assume more stable pen, have you tried that?
