Hi oyarsa,
Welcome to the forums.
For some thoughts on solar surf here: https://freecampsites.net/adding-solar/
About the only thing that is difficult to run from solar is the roof air conditioner. It is possible to do so, but not cheap.
In general, for DIY, solar may cost about $2 per watt.

Second: Solar power. I have glanced at a few articles/posts about solar power. Is it worth an attempt at all for a family that will mostly be at parks, only on random weekends, but would like freedom to dry camp on occasion?
Third: If not solar (which is probably a pipe dream), I assume I need to add a generator? What should I look for? Where should I start learning about it (if there are articles about it)? What weight does that add?
So many questions that I want to ask. I'm sure many of them have been asked so many times before. Advice for a first time trailer owner?
Thanks for all the advice and help from this forum! Pardon me, please, for being an excited, new, first time owner!
