Solar panels for camper

Hi
Wanted to say thanks for the tips and advice . We are going to start with a 100 watt solar panel system . We decided fridge on propane. Our furnace fan is the biggest draw on the system. So going to upgrade to 2 batteries instead of one. Going to skip the TV . The lights we have three in the camper and I am thinking of changing out to led lights. Still going to carry generator for backup for this season. Thanks again and good luck
 
We’ve got two 120 wat panels, one of which is the portable suitcase kind so we can park in the shade in the summer. I wish we could fit 6V batteries in our camper but there are a half inch too tall so we have two group 31 12 volts. I hunted 3rd season in Colorado last week and never needed the generator but I sleep at night without heat. No problems charging everything up and running the furnace most of the evening before bed. I like solar but still have a generator built in just in case.
