I bought 2 100 watt panels from Grape Solar through Costco and the charge controller from Fry's electronics and this keeps my two 6 volt batteries topped off. I also have a 700 watt inverter because I use a c-pap unit for sleeping soundlessly and never have had a problem when boondocking. I bought a small panel that I plug into my cig. lighter on my truck which keeps my truck battery up. My truck doesn't get used too often but when I start it, that Cummins really twirls. I also bought a surface mount switch that I use to turn off the flow from the panels to the batteries when I'm using shore power. Someone told me I needed this. I've been married 40 years so I do what I'm told but I'm not scared of anything:-)
