As noted above, we spent a week at Klahowya Campground near Forks/Beaver area on Olympic Pensinsula. Trees were 150' tall or so and we had no problems since we have a large bank of LFP. We did drive there and checked out the area before we drove the rig there and found a spot that would give us an hour of sunlight each day. Had Pacific Wrens coming to our feeder.
We spent a week at Stewart CG in the Chirichuahas which had about zero sunlight but we were only down -5500 W-hr (65% DOD). We had Painted Redstarts and Blue-throated Hummingbirds coming around all day long
We spent a week in the jungle at the north end of Lago Bacalar in the Yucatan and did well. There was enough dispersed sun to keep the batteries (glass mat then) up and we pretty much kept the inverter turned off. Toucans, Aricaris, Emerald Toucanets, etc were seen within 100 m of the rig. This was a small RV park called Laguna Azul and is the most delightful spot we have ever visited andplan to return.
You just have to check out your site for possible solar.
