It depends on your power needs and where you plan to camp. If you plan to stay in campgrounds with electric hookups your need for large batteries and an inverter is less than if you plan do do lots of boondocking.

We prefer state parks and forest service campgrounds and seldom plug in. For us, the combination of solar panels, large battery bank, and inverter works very well for us. About 95% of our electric needs are met by the batteries/inverter. Only when we need to run the A/C for more than about an hour do we need to run the generator. Our rig is three years old now and we only have 22 hours on the generator.

Hope this helps.
