Define "good solar system" for you.
What roof space for how many of how big of individual panels?
How do you camp now off-grid for how many days in a row with no shore power?
What size battery bank, battery charger, and generator?
How often do you recharge the battery bank now? Relates to daily AH use.
What time of year and what latitude?
In the open or under some shade trees?
Solar is just a way to stretch out the time between generator or shore power recharges. You can stretch out that time from every day to every second day to every few months, depending. So what are you expecting/wanting to do?
