Which would you buy first and why? Thanks

I've gone 3 nights comfortably in a full size trailer without charger, generator or solar using low power lights, gas on fridge and only water pump. I've gone up to 4 nights in a popup.
I have a Honda 2000. Used it twice on a trip to Yellowstone. Maybe once every other trip to heat up some Top Ramen or whatever. That's expensive Top Ramen.
If you lived in a hot area and needed to run the AC constantly, I'd say no brainer, get the genny. But otherwise, for keeping the batt topped off, solar it is.
Long story short, if I look at the usage pattern of my little red Honda, it probably wasn't needed. But I'm glad I have it. And Craigslist was good to me :-D
