No recharging until I get home and only use the generator to run the convection oven and I'm working on not having to do that too (ie run that on battery/inverter). Even if I lost a battery (I have 4), I could still finish my camping trip without a drastic loss in comfort. Since the OP is only doing 3-4 day boondock trips and apparently on shore power mostly, IMO, he doesn't solar or a generator. Just get 4 batteries and call it a day. Watch TV? Charge phones/tablets? Get a small inverter. IMO, no need to drag around gas cans, buy 3 of everything, or spend money on solar. He's not going the African Savannah, he's just doing some occasional off grid camping.
Maybe if someone were to explain what their use really is, one could weigh in how that meets their own use/uses.
