It's greatest and oft needed value is simply to keep your batteries charged during long sitting spells.
If you're under way daily, there is almost zero value to solar.

I know the cool kids are doing it. Ask them, bottomline, no religion, why. Await an answer.

I have solar on all equipment that sits for long periods with sunshine on it. Greenhouse, Trailers, offroader, the gator, tractor, game cameras... Not in the MotorHome. It lives inside.

Get an ags,
Automatic generator starter.
Cheap and easy install. Priceless usability.

The surge protector is a nicety, not a necessity.

Tpms is a very very good thing to have.
But
It is NOT a definitive you watch like a souffle.
It is to glance at on occasion and to set off an alarm during an abnormality.

Invest, right now, in a good inexpensive handheld type tool box and load it with various sealant, both tape and tube. Keep it in the rv. Do a scheduled walk arou d and ladder climb.

Agree with everything except the “surge protector is a nicety.” I blew an A/C because of a power surge and fluctuation - $800 and in a separate incident melted the power cord to the RV - cost $150. I will not hook up at any camp without my surge protector.
