THOR #1150
Looks like the industry average is 15 watts per sq ft. (this is home panels, not sure if RV panels are any different). Assuming a Sunny day in California.

Thus replacing a 5kW genny would require about 333 sq ft of panels.

The roof of our Axis is ~178 sq ft (25.5ft X 7 ft). Include the awning (17 x ~7) adds an additional ~120 sq ft for 298...almost there

Ok how about the biggest Aria: ( 41 x 8.5) ~348 almost there but an Aria has a 8kW generator which would require 533 sq ft.
