Yes, a good Solar setup should allow you to run lights and 12V accessories, if used "moderately". Note that the heater, although propane, needs a lot of 12v juice from the battery [in order to run the fan... so Solar is really good for keeping your battery charged if the heater is running at night, too.
NOT A/C, not 120v Microwave. Not electrical heating of any kind. If you want to run A/C, you'll need a generator instead. And, you need clear sky for Solar panels to work well-- don't park under ANY trees, and hope for cloudless, sunny days.
