The long run from the TV alternator to the batteries is a totally different issue but I think that the solar may help supplement that (on most days).

We won't be installing the panels on the roof. Living in Florida the first thing we do is look for a camp site in full shade. The panels will be set up at varing distances from the TM based on sun location. That will mean different gauge wire for different runs to offset I/R losses. Our camping is over 90% boondocking. We don't take a generator because of the noise.
