LED and dual batteries vs solar
I've done some homework on this topic regarding boondocking / power conservation but want to ask some questions to those who have done this, as I've become a bit confused. Am looking to go with so...

I wanted the ability to be somewhat self sufficient, off the grid, if necessary.
Toward that end, I added (2) additional group 24 batteries for a total of (4) in a custom vented battery box.
I added (2) 135 watt solar panels and 30 amp charge controller.
I also replaced all the interior lights with LEDs.
I longer plug the fifth wheel in at home and the solar keeps the batteries topped off.
We have not had the opportunity to dry camp yet.
I think it was well worth the effort and expense.
Hope this info will be helpful.
