I would say that is a good call since that would double your boondocking hours as well as the help the life of the batteries as they won't need to be drained down as far every night.

We have a 400W Renogy kit installed for our 4 AGM 12V Interstate batteries. We boondock often and never worry about running out of charge overnight, let alone over a whole weekend. Of course, we still need to run the generator for AC and the microwave. That may be an upgrade for someday... a larger inverter to add the microwave circuit to.

For your situation, don't plan too small. a 400W kit seems to be just about right for what you are planning to do. You don't need an MPPT controller so you can get the PWM controller (less expensive) if you don't plan to add to the solar setup at a later time.
