I have a modest solar panel on my pop-up and it added about a day to my boondocking experience.  I put a meter to in once and got 15 volts  around midday.

I think it is only about 1/2 amp or some such (only cost about $50), but I'm very happy with it.  I just glued it to the roof and hooked it directly to the battery.  I would do it again if I get a TM.  Might spring for a stronger pannel with more watts...

We too are misers when it comes to electricity, using lanterns & such to save the battery for heat & water.

It is also nice to know that the batter is kept charged when it is parked in my driveway.
