Solar is great when it’s a good fit. For us, unfortunately, it wouldn’t accomplish much, so I haven’t been able to justify it. So far, no solar.
We only boondock at night when there is no sun, we drive often so battery charging isn’t an issue during the day, and van camper serves as a second/third car often enough that a dead battery isn’t a problem.
Beyond cost, solar would add weight, add to roof cleaning effort, maybe even reduce fuel economy and increase noise a tiny bit, etc... Solar is a great technology, and I like it a lot, but for us and our travels it wouldn’t add enough value to offset the negatives at this time.
