The number of solar watts is usually determined by battery amp hours...one to one for us southern US RVers. If living in Colorado I’d go more...1.25 or 1.5 watts per AH. And, yes, the goal is not to need the generator except for AC. The key is to wire for more than you anticipate needing so that adding a panel is easy. When my TT is at rest the solar panels are too. I use a 25 watt panel and weather proof WindyNation controller to keep the batteries charged. Start with an energy use survey. That determines necessary battery AHs and that determines solar watts.
