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 for one went to solar just so I don't have to hear a genset run all day. Why would I drive 500 miles to a awesome campsite to hear a generator.
My story is pretty much the same as others. Started with two group 24 and a generator. Sometimes it took all day to get the batts back up.
We now have 280 watts of solar and I have not started my generator in two years of camping. I never have to worry about my batts being ready to go camping, hookup and drive. I check the water often of course. We usually camp is a fairly forested area, not completely in trees, but they do cast shadows on the panels. I still will have 100% charge at the end of the day.
Solar = The best modification an owner can make to their RV.
Forgot to mention, 100% LED.
