We just finished a nine-month cross-country trip with our 20-foot Prowler. Great fun and very few issues. We used a 110-watt solar suitcase (Renogy) which worked well and we rarely needed a generator....
OP: When you went out to the desert recently, did you have the panels laying flat, or propped up? My experience with a 100 watt suitcase in the desert winter is that if you tilt them appropriately, and move them a couple of times during the day, you can still get a lot of juice.
As a data point, I have a Honda 2000, it's a sweet machine.
