Solar panels don't power RV appliances. Batteries run RV appliances. On sunny days solar panels send electricity to a controller that manages the charging of batteries. I don't believe you understand the number of batteries, panels and controllers you would need to supply all your power needs...hot water, cooking, cooling, space heating, lights, water pump.
I too agree that many RV parks are going to look at your rig as "home built" and say you can't stay.
