Our Hymer has two 80 watt panels on top, we only have one 85amp gel battery and can easily spend a week without hookup using lights, water pump, radio and a bit of heater in the evenings.

They were already fitted when we got it so looked at them as a bit of a bonus

I have 2x 40w panels. I also have 400A plus of battery capacity. I run a Waeco 12vDC compressor fridge, charge batteries for laptop, cameras, flashguns etc. My lighting is 12vDC florescent tubes and small spotlights.  I find that with a move every four to five days that I have never had any power problems and I always "wild camp".

Yes, I'd say definitely go for panels. The new ones will even track the sun thus making sure that the panel is always at the optimum angle of efficiency-at a price

We had a 80v solar fitted at the York show we have 2 x110 batteries so hopefully thats us independent .we are off for 3 months to Portugal again.cost us £540 fitted that was including a  battery master as well.We priced having it done in Portugal but it was more expensive as this,
