depends on your wallet and if you want piece and quiet, or a hum from a genny, i would go for the genny as you can always use it to power things and not just top up the 12v system.

mikyallsorts has got it in one.His set up is the way to go.I went the same way a couple of years ago and have never had any problems or any more costs, even on a 2 week holiday with very little sun for the solar panel,I just swapped the batteries around with the 2nd battery with the a relay system in the car, an inverter for your  240v output.if need be,but very little used since I bought a 12 v freeview tele,and as micky says not so anti social as a genny. I came home last year after 2 weeks away and when i checked,both my batteries were still fully charged.When you take the cost of a good quality quite generator, at around £600,I think it is a bit cheaper system.
