Solar needed?

Moderators, not sure if thhis is the correct location so please move if needed. This is also posted in various locations(online forums)

I am curious as to whether or not any one inn central Kentucky has added solar to the rv. I am thinking about put a small(200 watt) setup on the roof of my toy hauler. I'm thinking that 200 watts should be enough to keep the battery fully charged while in storage and possibly be enough for an overnight wtop when traveling, We dont do any boondocking since I have not really found anyplace in Ky. to do so. Most if not all stays are at camp grounds that at the very least have electric but we are usually on full hookups.

So, my question is,would this be a waste of money or should I keep my cash for something that would really be needed. Thanks for all you help.
