I agree..... most of us dont "need solar".... We just "Want it".
I have NOT installed solar ... yet... but it still on my short list. We do a lot of day trips. Might stay parked 6 + hours at a trail head (Mtn biking) or local lake front in off season .... Plus we will work several hours a day on the road while traveling. So I find solar would help sometime so I would not have to use the Genny as much or at all (if not too hot outside).
Plus my Frig. is setup on my inverter now so its nice to run it on 12 v instead of propane while on the road. So if the engine is not running the frig will pull my 2 agm batteries down pretty quickly when stopped. Sometimes I forget to turn the propane back on and turn the inverter off etc.
