Hi folks, I'm looking into setting up my 20' TT with solar and am just beginning my research. I've stumbled upon a company called Renogy that are getting excellent reviews on Amazon. They have made life easy for a non-mechanical female by offering RV Kits.

My first and very fundamental questions are:
*Has anyone purchased Renogy products and, if so, are you glad you did?
*How many 100W panels would be recommended for off-grid life in a 20' TT (I would also rely on two 30lb propane tanks)
*Does the battery on the RV hold enough to use on its own for such a set up, or would I need multiple batteries?
I wouldn't be out in the middle of nowhere, for the most part, so propane support wouldn't be a problem. I'm just trying to figure out if it is worth investing/going without electricity hookups. Seems like it is!
Thanks in advance for any input, much appreciated!
