I went the gen route. Honda 2000W. We mostly dry camp as well. My 5er sits plugged in 24/7 when not camping so my batts are full charged before we leave. I have 4 6V GC batteries, so my user time lasts longer than yours would. What I like about the gen is I can fire it up and run the micro or hairdryer for short duration's and it's not one more thing added to the battery drain list.
I would love to have about 300+ watts of solar in addition to the gen but right now our max dry camping trips aren't more than 3-4 days to a week duration. I just fire up the gen when needed.
The gen is 100% reliable. Solar isn't.
