Agree 100%. Solar numbers depend greatly on how much and how often the motorhome is driven. The more “touring” one does, the less solar makes sense to me. On the other hand, those who boondock for days in one place, while parked in the sun, benefit the most. But like you say, if they run the generator to power the A/C during the day anyway, even they don’t gain much from solar.

Solar makes a lot of sense for some RVers, not so much for others. It is definitely not a “one size fits all” solution.
