I do generally park in the sun. I don't go to places where AC is required (don/t like humidity), and I don't hang out in the rig during the day, so I don't care if it gets hot in there except for the effect it has on my fridge/freezer. I don't think it gets above 90 in winter sun, with the windows cracked. Maybe not above 80.
I'm leaning towards solar, but might just start with another battery, first. I am cheap... and I don't really want another system to maintain, solar OR generator.
To me this all points to solar.
There isn't much to "maintain" with solar - nothing, in fact. After initial few weeks of curiosity and playing with voltage setpoints, you'll leave it alone.
Permanent installation does involve a great deal of planning and cable routing.
In a camper van or motorhome you can have charging from engine while on the road, with proper wiring from alternator to coach batteries.
