How much solar to stick on a 22-24 foot "C"?
I am looking at class "C" rigs, but at best, they might have 100 watts on a panel. Realistically, for a shorter "C", how many watts should I be expecting to shoot for, on the roof? The battery bank ...

Don ... comparing an RV with only generator power to an RV with only solar power is not an Apples-to-Apples comparison. A generator can supply high or low power anytime, while solar can only supply low power sometimes.

And, the period defined by "sometimes" in certain states would cover about 90% of daytime hours. In fact, 100%, but 0.5A current generated by 500-600W system under heavy rain can be ignored. Don (I think) is in prairies. When snowbirds in Az are running generators - in winter! - I only shake my head :)
