Sweet setup. Wish I could do that!

That's the catch. We spent the extra money to have a 190 watt solar panel installed as well as having the outside coated to preserve the decals. If I get a cover, I won't be able to utilize the solar panel to keep my batteries topped off!

Well solar is pretty cheap. I have just a single Renogy 80W panel and it keeps two house batteries and the chassis battery topped up. As I recall it was only about $80. With just a bit of planning you could use your onboard controller and just plug it in when you’re parked

There's always the "portable solar suitcase" option; equipped with alligator clips...

No need to make it as wide as I did since I was also wanted to avoid denting the new asphalt. A 4 x 8 sheet of ply should be enough to get in to the happy area to pre-run the fridge (if needed).

I made similar ramps using 2 by 8 boards with three setups for a lift of almost six inches for use at a prior residence.

Now they do duty as ramps for a couple of old cars that I work on.
