Are you familiar with Murphy's Law?
It corollary when referencing solar systems is that when you REALLY, REALLY need it you will be forced to camp under heavy cover and it will be cloudy the entire trip!
We've had both a generator and solar for many years. The solar is great 80% of the time here in the southwest! but we wouldn't plan on any extended boondocking without the generator.
I'm leaving in two days to CG host in Sequoia National Park. There are no hookups in my campground and it is well shaded. It will be at 7000' so the furnace may be necessary even in the summer. (It snowed a few weeks ago.) yup, I'll be glad for the generator.
