I got a Renogy 200w solar kit off Amazon, and loved it. It was just enough for us to keep the fridge going (on propane), the water pump, cell phones charged, and a couple of hours of Led lights on in the evening. It's just enough to keep you out in the boondocks and puttering conservatively along.
On our new rig we got a gopower 170w system that was almost twice as much money. Right now it's not as good. I'm trying to diagnose what is wrong with it, but as it stands the cheap amazon kit worked better for us.
To me unless you have to have AC, use a blow drier, or like microwaving stuff, there is not much impetus to get a generator.
