How hard is it to add solar?

Our 2000 is equipped with a converter to charge the battery and support the dc side, but I'd like to add some solar and maybe an inverter so we could use the 5th wheel while we've got it parked on our land, which has no power yet. We're building an earth covered home next spring and intend to use solar and wind to power the house and shop, so I'd like to set up about 1kw of panels as soon as we get the trailer to the property to have a daily supply. How would one go about tying in to the system, aside from just charging the batteries with the panels through an MPPT charge controller? If anyone has any information on this, I would appreciate your thoughts. Lee
