My last truck camper had a single 120w panel with a Morningstar PWM controller and a single group 31 wet cell battery.
Every weekend I'm away on a three day event and all spring and summer I never ran my generator to recharge the battery.
All lights are LED. No TV. Recharge phone and laptop every dayt and in the early spring the furnace ran every 20 minutes for a couple minutes for two nights.
I was extremely pleased with that setup.
But the roof on the Palomino Bronco could only fit one panel.
This new Toy Hauler can only fit three panels without shadowing. I figured for the extra few $$ I'd add another panel and a second battery.
This TH will see a TV getting used from time to time and the grandkids play video games for an hour or two each day.
Hopefully, off the grid it will serve me well.....We'll see.
