I have 320 watts of solar on my current travel trailer and 2 150 AH AGM batteries. We haven't carried a generator in more than 10 years, and rarely camp with hookups. "We" in this case is a family of 5.
That said, shade is most definitely a thing in the midwest, and not one that solar handles well. (Deep shade, all day long, with nothing but a few rays poking through leaves here or there, enough to hit maybe 1 or 2 cells on a panel, is pretty common in state park and state forest campgrounds in the midwest.) If we're going to be staying a while, then we know we need sun and have to pick sites that are more open. Things are different out west. Sites with trees often have one or two and will get full sun for at least a couple hours. At many places in the east, south, and upper midwest it's not like that and one has to actively seek out the sites that aren't in full shade.
