We have a 29.2 with a pair of 6 volt golf batteries, a 1000 watt pure sine inverter and the 100 watt Renogy portable solar panels. We boondock and this system works well with a little power conservation. We crank up the generator in the morning for about 30 minutes while we make coffee and cook breakfast. That allows the batteries to catch up after draining a bit overnight (fans, lights, stereo, TV, phone/computer charging, etc). The batteries maintain a good charge level t/o day with the panels. We crank up the generator for a little bit right before bed to top off the batteries. Obviously, no A/C and fridge and water heater on gas. FYI, a friend with a similar RV and similar power demands has to run his generator 2-3x more to maintain his batteries (2 x 12V) without the solar panels.
