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 ...

Are you sure about that?
My little super-quiet 650 watt genny will easily deliver (via a multi-stage charger) - 30 amps X 14.4 volts X 0.8 power factor equals 540 watts - into our RV batteries every hour that it's running. (I use it only with a 13.8 volt converter, however.)
I think it would take way more area and screw holes than my roof can take to fit on enough solar panels to match this level of output for five hours every day in any season in any weather.
It seems as if Honda years ago precisely engineered this generator for RV camping battery recharging. :h
I hope their (upcoming?) re-engineered line of inverter portable generators are specified to put out maximum power at an output noise level lower, are at least no higher, than my generator's constant speed output noise level.
