Minimum Solar Power needed for LED lights and Water Pump

What is the minimum amount of Solar I could get away with to keep my battery charged enough to run a Class C with all LED lights and a water pump. I do not have, or need an inverter. I would prefer to never use my loud, stinky generator. As is, I can last a few days without charging.
  • Part of that answer depends on what you have for batteries to store the power - what do you have?

    And I think the approach of looking for the minimal solar needed is totaly wrong. The main hassle with solar is installing it. Pay an extra $100 to buy a second panel so you aren't out there redoing everything next year.
