Your RV will consume about 35 AH daily to run the CO meter, propane detector and refrigerator on gas.

Anything more like lights, furnace and TV will consume even more power. My 120 watt solar panels can put out about 35 AH daily, each.

I would recommend checking this site for panels, they have great prices. Look for a panel with aluminum frame, 12 volt 'nominal' 20 volt output.
