Maybe never.
We camp in shady sites in the NE. Even with portable panels and 100' of cable I usually can't find a sunny patch. And if I do I would have to move the panels every hour to stay in the sunny spot. So solar doesn't do much good.
With the fairly large parasitic loads on my coach, even though I have an absorption fridge, I use about 50 Ah daily. Even with 200 Ahs of lithium batteries I would be recharging every four days. The only way to recharge is with a generator or drive several hours to another site.
A portable Honda type might work and I would consider a coach with no fixed generator and use a portable for recharging. Hondas are quieter than any fixed generator except for the new Onan inverter one.
