Is solar the way to go?
Looking for some input from those of you that use solar to charge your battery. What are good kits to buy that are affordable and portable? How long does it take you to charge in all conditions? Is so...

We carry the same equipment. Our 1 kW generator will not operate the air compressor (should have gotten a 2 kW) but we have sufficient LFP battery suite to operate the compressor. We did carry a 3-ton or 4-ton floor jack but that was just to heavy so we traded it for something with a friend and got a 5-ton and 10-ton bottle jacks + the jack stands for safety.
We had extra water pumps and sewage piping when we were in Yucatan and gave them away to friends who pumps/piping failed. These things are not sold in Yucatan.
We are currently mootchdocking (mootching plus boondocking) which is a variation of dry-camping with family at 7800' in mountains of northern NM. Have had sufficient solar even with the heavy rains of the last week.
