Is solar the way to go?
Looking for some input from those of you that use solar to charge your battery. What are good kits to buy that are affordable and portable? How long does it take you to charge in all conditions? Is so...

Shadow, what kind of a panel works in deep shade? You may have made a convert out of me . . .
Looking at your blog pics, I'd say you're in sufficient sun typically to get partial benefit from the panels. If I parked in your locations I'd get usable power-maybe run a deficit but certainly extend the charging cycle. And I have frankly a poorly constructed solar system-mishmash of panels and factory installed components.
One big 250 watt household panel on your rig would be great-but I don't see the roof real estate. Unless you elevated it over the rear vent or relocated that front antenna. Portable would be ideal-two 100 watt panels at Solar Blvd @$125 each. But do you feel comfortable leaving them out when you leave the campsite?
One thing for sure I'm thrilled not to use generator for battery charging.
