For what it's worth, you sound like a minimalist, which would sort of describe us, too. We camp for weeks at a time with two group 31 batteries and a 120 watt portable suitcase panel. This tops up the battery every day (if it is not too cloudy).
We use it for lights, the fridge, the water heater, the furnace (sparingly), the pump, and an inverter to charge an iPhone. This is not a fancy solar unit -- just a Chinese imitation of a Renogy suitcase, with a controller. Easy to deploy, easy to hook up, easy to store.
A rooftop unit would be even easier, but we camp in the shade most of the time.
