Interested in any solar advice
First of all, I oughta say I've learned a lot from this website and am really into it. Well right now I'm looking for some information on how to go solar from someone semi ignorant about the subject. ...

OP, as you can see, there is a lot of great advice out there when you talk about solar. I hymned and hawed about what I was going to get and finally just dove in. I spent a lot of time trying to nail down all the power needs I had.
I have found that if you are just running 12vdc devices, you can get by with a pretty small system. If you want to watch a lot of tv and toast some bread and vacuum the floors and do a load of laundry, you'd better get some serious battery storage and panels, not to mention a decent inverter. I would guess that if you are just boondocking for an extended weekend and don't spend a lot of time in the trailer, 200-400ah of batteries and 200-300 watts of panels would be more than enough.
