If skies are blue your solar can be way more than you need, then when it gets cloudy you can have not enough solar. It is luck of the draw what it will be like over the time you are camping that time. Next time it could be the other way around from last time.
All you can do is get some solar and whatever it does is what you get. If your RV can carry it and if you think it is "worth it" then the more solar you have to get by when it is cloudy the better. That will lead to many sunny days when you find you have too much solar and maybe wish you had spent some of that money on something else. You are never going to get it "just right."
Meanwhile, however much solar you take along, have a generator and charger handy so you are good to keep on camping no matter what the weather turns out like.
