My set up is all solar and I love it. I always hate the sound of generators so I set my redneck toyhauler up to be 100% self contained and solar powered. I exclusively boondock out in the desert. I converted every light fixture in the camper to LEDs. 2 6 volt deep cycle batteries and a second 12 volt deep cycle as a back up (which I have never had to switch to. We used it for a buddies Jeep for the weekend when his battery crapped out though) and a pair of 100 watt panels on the roof with a MPPT charge controller. If I want to I can add 2 more panels and the controller will support it. I run a 12 volt led tv, car stereo DVD player for movies and camp tunes for I’d say at least 6 hours a day, lights as needed at night, run my power inverter in the ,owning to power a small 4 cup coffee pot, use USB ports installed all over the camper to charge iPads and phones, and I have never had a power issue over a 4 to 5 day trip.
I went with this kit for my solar.
