I have put 100w on two different trailers. The first only had one 12v battery. We did multiple 7-night trips, and never were low on power. Have done winter camping, running heater on thermostat through the night, and have done two nights with no problem. Each afternoon, the batteries were topped-off.
For me, one 100w panel keeps me in power as long as I want. I have not camped in a rainforest, though, so that would change my experience quite a bit. Oregon, Washington, or New England with heavy tree cover, would likely reduce my battery life.
Just my experience over 5 years with solar.
