If you get an adequate solar system you’ll never look back. That’s all you need.
thats not always true, I have a solar system that normaly had my batteries at 100% by noon.
last fall I was camping and it was cold, cloudy and overcast for 3 days and I got down to about 50% on my deep cycle GC batteries. a DC to DC charger would have been handy to top up my bateries in thoes types of conditions.
I dont like using the factory wiring as there is voltage drop and so on , but a nice DC to DC that you can turn on or off (I am going to put it on one of the upfitter switches in my truck) seams like a nice back up power supply just for situations like I have quite ofter in spring and fall.
