If I am boondocking without the APU or engine generator, will the solar panels keep up with the electrical withdraw. Most of that would be at night when using the lights which is when solar is no good anyway.

I just added 200 watts of panels to our rig, it was prewired and had controller already in unit. Does keep all five of my batteries charged when not hooked up to house or rv site. Which is rare.
Not a big fan of boondocking. I love AC when i sleep! HA
