path1, energy is the easiest thing to supply in a RV. The real problem is water. With enough battery capacity, you can power anything. When I had my 5th wheel, we didn't have a generator. Never needed one. We never camped where it was that hot and we had enough battery capacity to last 10 days without a recharge and we were not power misers either. With solar we could've stayed out indefinitely (well at least as long as the water would last). But most people are willing to haul around 400 lbs worth of batteries nor are they willing to spend the money on them or they don't think that much capacity is needed (ie they'd rather have a generator).
