We seldom camp in campgrounds and when we do we never get hookups. I installed a 130 watt solar panel on the roof and have a 85 watt mobile panel on the ground. To make all of this work there are 4, 6 volt batteries.Have a Big Sky solar boost and controller which increases panel output by at least 10 percent. Our lighting is 12V LED which draws about 3.5 watts per light. We dry camp for a period of 4 months in the desert every winter, we have never been without electricity. We power our tv, satellite dish, and dvd player through a 1200 watt inverter. I have by passed the charger on the converter by pulling the fuse on it. This allows for a better charge from the solar panels and won't allow for over charging if plugged in to shore power. I have been dry camping for 10 years and have never found a need for a generator, in fact I do not own one. Hope this helps, by the way if you plan on dry camping and using a generator, park far from those who use solar, we enjoy the quiet.
