Several will say I should have 500 watts or more, but most of the time we're boondocking we're not using anything during the day (maybe the Fantastic fan, but that's all).
I agree I have 400 watts, 4 flooded 6v interstate golf cart battery's, 2000 watt inverter/charger. I could add 1 more 100 watt panel but like Walt I haven't had the need. However your main question was about using pre-wired RV, If your like me you want all the info you can get. I chose Renogy for all my solar products, no where near the top of the line but not the cheapest either. We couldn't be happier with our solar system. I still have a 3400 watt Champion inverter/generator with remote start for back up, and my old faithful yamaha 1000 watt as back up for the back up. My wife and I have boondocked for a month or more with our new solar system and we will never own an RV without a good solar system
