Total battery bank ampere hours
Divide total by a factor of six.
This gives a comfortable amount of hotel power plus can recharge batteries with consistancy.
Better to be a little light on panel capacity then plan on occasional "rest days" for hotel extraction and let the sun top off the batteries.
Full solar reliance means ignoring absorbsion charging specs offered by OEM. Voltage must be set higher.
Buy your batteries and buy an amp hour meter first. You need to live-the-life and know for a fact what your lifestyle needs as far as daily amp hours. Once you have that amp hours figure return and get advice from the panel a d controller nerds.
