[QUOTE="Mil T, post: 693854, member: 2727"] I"ve been a boondocker RV owner for 40 years with lots of experience with charging and battery power. 1. 4- 6volt battery bank 2. Smart charger at least 45 amp. preferably 55-65 amp. Smart chargers will keep you batterys from being over charged and when you are charging them with what ever system you use, generator or solar it will charge the at the peak rate of the amperage rate.

You never have to worry about the sun not being there and the huge amount of panels you'll need to put on the roof, ie, big bucks. Usually an adequate solar system will cost between $2k and $3k. Generator $1k max.
