Interesting you say that is small. We tend to boondock 3~~5 nights then to a State Park for one night. SHOWERS!, Laundry,etc. ALOT of State Parks Fl to CA have under 25 ft. limits for the BEST spots, etc. We are in a used 23H Thor Freedom Elite which just for the two of us(no pets) has been more than fine. We use a Honda 2000i generator and sometimes on board 4000 generator. We swapped out upon purchase two(2) deep cycle 12-volt golf cart batteries and have been more than fine. For $900(generator)$385.00(batteries) we're good to go and just came back from a 7 month 10,000 plus mile trip sands solar without any issues. Solar in a RV turns into a multi-thousand dollar boondoggle with no end in sight. Yes, you do have to adjust your electric needs but we do not watch TV, do Facebook on laptops,etc. We read, listen to weather radio and shortwave, watch the sunset and hit the hay. Sun goes down, to bed. Sun comes up, we hit the road! Otherwise with all the "get up" with solar I was at $4,000 and still could not run the AC.!! Make sure whatever you buy that it has a roof AC unit BELOW 13,500 otherwise you will NOT be running it with solar without a whole lot of capacity and expense. Happy Trails!
