Solar is wonderful but only part of a balanced system of knowing your daily needs, battery to provide for them at least three days. solar that will bring them back up in a day and a generator or jumper cables as a back up.
Now we use a 230w panel and 345ah of battery and you would think we were plugged in some how. No inverter for the MW yet, but it's coming.
We did the jumper cable thing on our first trip boondocking. The battery was fine for a few nights but when we extended it to a week I hooked up the cables and ran the truck a hour a night. Used a lot of gas but got us thru.
Roy gets more out of his batteries than anyone I know.
