My rig is a 2016 Axis 24.2 that also didn't come with any provision for solar. I installed four 100 watt panels (not sure I needed that much because we are pretty conservative in our power usage) that feed power to two Battleborn Lithium batteries via a Renology controller. I also replaced my BIRD with a lithium compatible BIM to add protection for the alternator. For the occasional 110 volt needs, I installed an inverter that feeds a couple of outlets and one of the TVs.
The ability to boondock for longer periods has opened up a lot of options for new and different camping experiences.

You’ve got a very nice set-up.
I know we’ve drifted off the Oceanside topic, but we’re all in SoCal.
Are you staying at the North Pismo Beach State Campground?
The actual “sand” beach camping or driving wasn’t yet open as of last week (Gavin Newsom’s COVID must really like the ocean, I guess)
Keep us posted on where you land up there and your experience.
That is, I got my Vegas stuck in the beach sand 2yrs ago.
If you ever go down on beach make sure you reduce your tire air to about 20# & know exactly where the high tide is.
The best time to drive & camp on the beach with our rigs is when the high is no more than 4’
The Sand gets undriveable for us once it’s above 5.5’
