On our trailer, which we use for boondocking 100% of the time 6 months of the year, we have 490 watts of solar (three 120's and a 130) and 440 amp hours of batteries (4 Trojan 105 6-volt batteries). It is enough to live very comfortably in our 36' fifth wheel and run everything, including microwave and vacuum (but not the air conditioning).
We have had solar power on two trailers and a sailboat and have lived exclusively with solar power off the grid in these moveable homes for the past 6 years. We've got a lot of info on our website if that helps anyone here:
Solar power for RVs and boats
