Here's what you need:
Twelve 255 watt panels for a total of 3060 watts. Six panels on the trailer roof and six that are portable. Eight 400 AH 6 volt batteries connected in series for a 48 volt system. A charge controller and massive inverter/charger which are in the bed of the pickup.
It's a young couple that are full-timing. The solar system was originally installed at their house. When they sold the house they decided to re-purpose the solar system and install it on their trailer. They plug the trailer shore power cord into the inverter once they are parked.
This was at a campground in south Florida where I was camped and just left today.
