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 ...

Wow - what a great thread. Lots of great information exchanged.
OP, I am in a similar situation as you I think. I do 3 or 4 day dry camping trips a few times each year. I have a TT with All LED lights. We use about 24 AHs per day.
I have a single 140W solar panel and no generator. About once a year (due to heavy shaded site) I just use my jumper cables to charge the TT batteries from the Truck alternator. For my use (2 hours per year) it is simpler than owning, operating and maintaining a generator.
During the hot summer time I only camp at electric sites so I can run my AC.
Anyway, this is what works for me right now.

Agreed, good discussion and it is appreciated. A generator is in my immediate future, and solar will be based upon usage and the amount of times my DW says "why don't we have solar" (which has been once so far,and based upon experience, 3 times is carte blanche :C )
