yes, and not to be terribly 'dissuasive' of the Solar debate, but it's actually more of a cost to most than the benefit it is prescribed to 'give'...there are just too many variables....

but, with a generator, as 'loud' as they may seem to be(not really, but that's certainly the general perception!), it is really a simple and easy power source - ready when you are, no matter whether Sun or not... use it for only 30 minutes, as needed, or let it run 24/7 as a few might do.

The Solar discussion will always continue, as many of us DO like it's 'quiet' power, but the true nature of solar in 'mobile' situations, like RVs are, is just not a scenario where you can use the same 'numbers' most people do to justify the Solar up-front cost. It 'feels' good, but it's also a little hard to quantify it's true benefits, compared to not having it and using your generator instead.
