Hi,
Solar can run everything in an RV with the exception of long run time high wattage devices, such as the air conditioner.
When I was not full time, I would run out of water before I ran out of electricity. The same can be done with full time but it is best to fully populate the roof with panels. Many folks who have 600 watts of solar don't run their generators at all, assuming propane is used for the fridge. When they want air conditioning--they look for a cheap campground. It is generally cheaper to be in a campground than to run a generator for 24 hours.
With 1200 watts of panels, in perfect solar conditions, it may be possible to run a small air conditioner.

Pianotuna how well does the solar work? Can you stay off the grid reasonably well? I've been reading but never messed with solar.
