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...

Hi Jonny,

And finally, some good news. My first rv had 250 amp-hours of battery bank and a scant 30 watts of solar. It took about a week for that 30 watts to completely recharge the batteries to the brim full stage, and they lasted for about nine years. So I started every trip with a bursting full battery bank.

The next owner destroyed the bank by plugging an old magnatec converter.
