Solar or Generator??
We are going to have some short boon-docking trips (3-4 days). I do not know my actual energy needs right now, but the DW and I are conservative when it comes to water and power. I really just want ...

And Just what would some of you do in a CG that didn't allow generators?
Firstly, I've noticed that most campgrounds that don't allow generators also don't have room for motorhomes because they're old tenting campgrounds. Are there campgrounds that have room for and allow motorhomes, but don't allow generators? In any case, I know of one mostly tenting section in one local campground that doesn't allow generators and doesn't prohibit RVs - we have camped in that section in one of the sites in it large enough for our small motorhome. The spot was fully shaded so solar wouldn't have worked well there at all. For those situations, I can idle the V10 to charge the batteries.

The little 650 watt portable Honda we carry in the motorhome was given to us. We last summer also had a 1000 watt Honda EX1000 in immaculate condition (maybe two hours run time) given to us that I use around the property for remote power. Used EX650 Honda generators can be found in good condition for $200-$350 ... at those prices no solar setup that can supply the same ~30 amps for battery charging can compete - other than for full-timers camping in the Southwest desert for weeks on end.
All IMHO, of course.
