Just Starting Solar Research

OP here again. I think I should have been more specific in describing my situation.
I tow a small (16') travel trailer with a Toyota Sienna van (2006). Weight is an issue (the rig's weight, not mine (although that could be a different discussion in a different category...))
I plan to boondock for several months this coming winter in Mexico (Baja)
I have a Honda EU1000i generator.
I plan to carry a 2-gallon gas can for the generator.
I have a single Group 27 battery and LED lights.
My new PD4645 converter/charger uses 750 watts, which is 83% of the generator's running output, which consumes more gas than a far lesser load.
My SOLAR GOAL (:@ ) is to cut back on the Honda usage (to save gas due to unknown gas availability in Baja without having to drive many miles) and be able to watch an occasional DVD and charge my iPad.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it. :)
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Michelle
