People are toying with the ideas for decades.
Everybody has different needs and requirements.
Solars are expensive and lot of RV owners use them for quiet and environment protection, so the cost is not an issue.
For me - I need AC 90% of the time and solar rv systems that could power AC don't exist.
Since I have to run generator whole day, the solar only for battery charging makes no sense.
Even then, the latest addition of $150 inverter generator who runs most of the day on cup of gasoline makes solars very uneconomical.
