Really depends on where you go camping too. I was camping this weekend off highway 20 by Concrete WA. Solar panel did absolutely nothing over the weekend - which is pretty much the story here in Western WA over the winter. We simply can not rely on solar in the winter.
I'm pretty dumb when it comes to solar power and while I read posts on here, I get confused anyway but I have read that a partially shaded panel is basically useless and where I primarily camp, it's just that shady as in forest canopy overhead sop I just use my little genny for a couple hours every day to charge the batteries back up and all is good.
I have a direct charge port on my unit that bypasses the converter and I can direct charge them.
