100 Watts Solar with Deep Cell 31s or Trojan 6 Volts

I'm looking at a new truck camper that comes with 100 watts solar panel and control. I use minimal lights, water pump, etc when dry camping solo. Is that sufficient to maintain two batteries while dry...

Since you said you have a generator, if you can, run the generator for an hour or so first thing in the morning. The bulk charge it will allow your convertor to put into your batteries quite a bit of watts. Then, let the solar "top off" the batteries the rest of the day.
