First time energy setup advice? (battery+solar)

I am trying to get my new trailer setup for first time use. I recently bought a 98 Prowler 24lz and am in the process of getting it ready for usage. I will be storing this out in Bishop CA in the east...

My guess is one battery and 120 watts of solar isn't going to cut it for the use you describe. The generator will get much use to keep your battery charged. You really need to get a battery monitor and figure out your power usage.
