Man you guys are hard core when it comes to batteries. I really think 200 watts solar is plenty for a truck camper. I have switched to almost all led's. I do have a generator also which I don't mind using.
And you would be right until you mentioned you were switching over to a 12 volt fridge. I have a 12v Danfoss compressor fridge in my camper and it draws 4-5 amps when running and, as mentioned, in summer time it runs a lot. As long as you have sunny days your 200 watts of solar will probably be able to top off the battery each day. But throw a cloudy day in there and you'll be running the genny. If that's okay with you...
