Help with picking out components, and do I need solar.

Do I need solar? I’m up grading and setting up the trailer for long term dry camping. I’m installing a Honda 3000i generator onto the tongue of my Nash 17K. I’ve also decided to add lithium batter...

I would go with AGM batteries and not bother with lithium.
AGM will take a fast charge (100 amps) with the 3000i gen and last a long time without worry.
Get as much solar as you can fit.
Enjoy whatever you go with.
I have 600 W solar with 4 12V AGMs and can run a residential refrigerator all night with this.
I just run the generator while watching TV etc at night and to top off the bats for overnight.
