I have to use shore, or generator, since 90% + of my camping require AC, so I am not jumping on solar wagon.
However doing Sprinter conversion I installed single solar panel, just to go with common trend. That proved to be valuable when fuel pump on my van went bad and I had to crank the engine several times for testing and then spend over 1 hr on the cellphone. The 75W solar panel help me with keeping the batteries at certain level, what helped a lot.
Still dealer's mechanic crank it without connecting charger and fried $1000 ignition module for starters.
