We plan to do a lot of boondocking, everywhere. Never done it before, but over the two vacation trips we've taken so far in our Sightseer we've learned that being in what is essentially a mobile home park is not what we had in mind. We're both looking forward to spending a lot of time on BLM public land and other remote unplugged, so to speak, locations. Having never done this before we're just trying to get as many bases covered as we can before we get started. Fortunately we have about 1 year to practice and make our mistakes before hitting the road for extended periods of time when I assume those mistakes could be more costly.
I strongly recommend that you try boondocking without solar first.
It's not possible to anticipate how you will want to do things, in a new environment. And, after all, most people who camp on BLM lands are tent camping and don't have any batteries at all. It's not like you can't do it without that that stuff.
Go on a few trips. Learn what you like to do and how you like to do it. Learn what electrical things you will want to run and in what conditions. If it's hot, go to higher elevation where it is cool, or go swimming.
Once you know what you want, then design your system around that.
