Try to research it and compare that to how you use your RV, or intend to use it once you get solar and the picture will get clearer with most every read. Solar is either a fad or a vey good way to remain off grid.
I know a woman with a scamp fifth wheel. She has 750W solar, Victron equipment and 3 lithium batteries. She dry camps 95% of the time. In her case, it already paid for itself.

I agree with this. (For whatever THAT’s worth!). Significant solar makes no sense whatsoever in my case as we simply don’t camp without at least electric hookup. But for under
$150 I was able to add enough solar to keep all three of my batteries charged while in storage. My coach was not prewired.
